HD Install :: /etc/modules.conf more recent than.. error on boot



I have just installed DSL on a 486DX2 66mhz, 24mb ram, 800mb ext2 partition, 250mb linux swap partition.

Every time I boot the system into linux I get the following error message at various times during the loading screens:

Quote
/etc/modules.conf more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.22xfs/modules.dep


Though I have never used linux before, the system seems stable enough and shows no adverse effects.  Can anybody please tell me what I should do to fix this (preferably in easy n00b sized chunks).


Also, How do I save the settings on the system so it remembers the desktop configuration and also prevent Dillo from loading the welcome page on bootup.  I have read the section on saving settings but I'm afraid I don't understand how to save the changes I make to the .lst file it references (of course I can use an editor, I just dont know the syntax of the entries to be added etc.)

Finally, my system only has one cd-rom drive but in the erm I think its called the fluxbox (mentally insert your own embassased smiley on my behalf and feel a touch of superiority :P) But I seem to have TWO cdrom drives in the drive mounter thingy.  If I try to mount the second one I just get an "error, drive not ready" message (or words to that effect).

Cheers for any help you can give,

Please tell us what version you have, as I am not seeing that message.
Usually to fix, on hard drive intalled system, as root type
depmod -a

As for the other questions, edit .xinitrc in the home directory. You can comment out (#)  the dillo startup and add the enhanced desktop by adding the line
enhance &
or deleting the two lines representing the if statement around the existing enhance line  if...   fi
The version is the latest available: 0.6.2.  I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that before.  Thanks for the help regarding the other questions.  I'll post to let you know how its all going :P

Cheers

Ok, I was able to use the depmod -a command successfully and configure the boot options for user damnsmall by entering into that sub-directory of /home.

Is it possible to do the same for root?  And if so where is the file that I would need to create / edit?

Cheers for your time and effort, please keep posting

Yes, the same file .xinitrc. When you login as root perform the same edits.
If you are going to be adding more users then edit the same file in /etc/skel.
That way you won't have to do it for each user. It will be system-wide.
