Question A question about modules and insmod...


Hi...

I was just wondering if it is possible to use insmod from outside of the /sbin folder? Or do I have to copy any modules into the /sbin folder everytime I want to install a module?

Thanks very much.
Jason.

No just move over to your /sbin folder and type in
./insmod <whatever>
( this is what I do )
My os is redhat 7.3

I can't do it :-( I need to go into the sbin directory and type ./insmod in order to install a mod. Sh** that's a great thing to install modules from anywhere. I need to buff up on some more reading ( and it never ends ).
