modconf
is a script for installing kernel modules on Linux. It can be used
interactively (GUI mode) or from the command-line (batch mode).
OPTIONS
The options marked with a "*" below are applied only to one module.
If you want to apply them to more than one module then repeat the
option in the command line.
--source floppy|mounted
Indicates where the modules are to be
obtained from. floppy is used when installing Linux.
mounted is used on already installed Linux systems. This is
the default.
--target directory
specifies where the
etc/modules
and
etc/modules.conf
are to be found on the system (default: / ). Do not include a trailing
"/" after the directory name.
