yes, I did build everything I could as a module,
also included kerneld support. Judging by your answer,
I don't need /etc/conf.modules at all, as I understand.
I was simply confused by that tool in control panel,
which, it seems to me now, I don't need to use either.
Why does it exist then? RedHat 4.0 manual says that's
what you use for kerneld interface...
