Re: Modules

[Szemerédy Gábor <gabor rc-subotica co yu>]

Thanks Mr. Fernandez!
I installed my box from the cd and the modules were enabled!
The problem was that there was no .cofig file in the directory /usr/src/linux!
Mr. Ellertson fro the list helped me to correct this and now it seems to me
that
is OK!
