<personal opinion> The 'right' way IMHO is to use modconf (Debian only). With the module unloaded run modconf and then enable it from that interface. This should (in my experience) add it to /etc/modules, and then you should be on your way. An alternative is to add it directly to /etc/modules.
</personal opinion> I think it's always better to do it the way the maintainers intended, unless it happens to be inherently broken. We are creatures of habit. When we start doing things that are not standard on our own machines, we start doing them on production machines, and people who come behind us get really confused, and it takes more time trying to figure out what happened, than just to get the job done. Real Hackers use Windows XP. people who use Linux don't have to hack it. It just works. good luck Art Quoting Michael Halcrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Fri, 2003-03-14 at 21:12, David Smith wrote: > > I want to do this the 'right' way, not by editing > > /etc/rc.boot or something. > > When it comes to configuration, there is no ``right way'' in Linux. > There is only the way that the distribution developers intended you to > do it.
