Thanks to both Oscar and Matt for replying.
As to Oscar's suggestion, I know it's just beyond me. I know my method's
crude, but it does work.
As to Matt's questions: when I ran lsmod before making any changes, 17
modules showed up as loaded, including ieee1394, and that even though
the computer has no Firewire port.
The file in which I implemented my changes is called bootlocal.sh.
Whether it's specific to DSL, I don't know. In any event, I did add to
it a line "modprobe -r ieee1394", then saved the file, then rebooted.
After a reboot I ran lsmod again and there was no loaded ieee1394 module
anymore.
To both Oscar and Matt, I apologise for not creating my reply in the
usual fashion, but something's gone haywire with Thunderbird. When I
create a reply, it often fails to be delivered, though a "new" email
works as expected. I'm just about to see what happens this time!
Thanks again,
Leslie
