Hi, Ok fine, but I have some problem locating my modules.conf file. I can't find the darned thing in /etc . I use Fedora 3, and this system is new for me, so I am having problems locating files in Fedoras filesystem.
I get this in commandmode: [root] # updatedb [root] # locate modules.conf /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/ssl-modules.conf /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing But I don't think it's the right files. So I first have to solve what the modules.conf file is named in fedora 3, so I can find the file. Do you perhaps now what the modules.conf file is named in Fedora 3 ? Or else, I will be back shortly, when I now more, I am now going to solv the problem, after I got some sleep. Goodnight ! See you tomorrow !
