rmmod - making the change permanent?


Hi folks,

I am having a problem with some modules that I don't want in my Mandrake 10 setup. When I do:

rmmod lp, rmmod parport and rmmod parport_pc

and do an lsmod, the modules disappear. However, if I run an application that needs access to the parallel port for a debugger, the modules come back (telling me the parallel port is already in use).

On Mandrake 9, doing:

rmmod lp

Did the trick and my application could get access to the parallel port. This doesn't seem to work any more.

Has anything changed with Mandrake 10 (I'm running the 2.6 kernel this time) in this version? Or is there something else I might have missed?

Many thanks,

Rob
