Connectiva Linux 10 Beta 1???

Recommended Posts

Hi I installed Connectiva Linux 10 Beta 1. It really is shaping up to be a great distibution - with all of the latest bleeding edge applications you can think of.

 

The only problem is that I can't work out how to load modules I need at boot time.

 

I mean in Gentoo it is simply a text file called /etc/iinit.d/kernel_version; in Debian it is etc/modules; in Red Hat it is modules.conf - but in Connectiva there doesn't seem to be anything like that. There is a file in there called modprobe.conf - but this has a format I am not at all familiar with. Here is a snippet of how it is set out:

 

Code:
alias tty-ldisc-11 irttyalias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_syncttyalias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppealias ppp-compress-21 bsd_compalias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflatealias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflatealias parport_lowlevel parport_pcalias usbdevfs usbcorealias block-major-109 lvm-modalias loop0 loopalias /dev/ppp ppp_genericalias ppp ppp_asyncalias usb uhci-hcdalias usb ehci-hcdalias eth0 8139too

 

To be honest I don't know what to make of that, or if it is related to debian's /etc/modules or not.

 

Does anyone here have any clue how the Conectiva folks do it? I would ask them - but unfortunatelly they are Portuguese - so for a non native speaker, its not soo easy.

 

Any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
