Hi, what is the standard location for the loading of modules on SuSE Linux? If I look at Slackware for example, there is this /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, where all modules to be loaded are listed. On my SuSE-box, I do a lsmod, I see some modules like ne2k-pci, but I can't find where they are loaded.

They are loaded in the kernel, as needed. That with at least 6.4 (i.e. 2.2.14 kernel). Should have worked with 6.2 as well. Read the stuff in the printed SuSE manual about loadable kernel modules.

That's exactly what I thougt, but, if i compile a kernel with msdos etc. as a module and I trie to read a diskette with an MS-DOS filesystem, that doesn't work, so there is not allways a mechanism that the kernel automagically loads the necessary modules. (Or is there something essential that I don't understand here?) That means I have to put them in some file, isn't it?

You have to tell the OS what type of file system to expect when it gets to the disk: mount -t vfat /dev/floppy /floppy for example; this tells the file system to expect (-t means "type") an msdos floppy, with a file system (vfat) that supports long filenames. For normal (8.3) type dos files, replace "vfat" with "msdos". The other option is to install mtools. This will allow you to use your normal dos commands, with the addition of an "m" in front. For example, to copy the contents of an msdos floppy to my home directory, I would use mcopy a: /home/igor If you wanted to format a floppy with msdos file-type, then type mformat a: Hope this helps. -- Regards Don Hansford ECKYTECH COMPUTING Surfing the Net (without crashing) With SuSE 6.4 Linux (Thanx Linus!)
