HD Install :: auto loading kernal mods
I have DSL 1.5 installed on my hard drive as a hard drive install.
Everything works fine.
I need to do a manual modprobe sk98lin in order to get my DSL modem working, I also have to set the 'puter up as a DHCP client and use the Netcardconfig everytime I boot.
Is there any way to to automate this?
I have the kernal source and am prepared to recompile if I have to (I would prefer not to of course
)
I also know my way around most of the files in /etc but am not sure which to change or what to change to.
All help appreciated.

Put the appropriate commands in /opt/bootlocal.sh
You may have to google to find out how to set up your DSL modem with ifconfig.
