2.6 tools


Hi.. just more questions... When i upgrade to 2.6 the modprobe insmod and depmod tools must also be changed...
My question is how in a system with 2.6 and 2.4 kernels the two different tool versions can coexists.
Any suggestion?

Usually, the module utils from modutils (for 2.4) get ".modutils" appended to their names. modprobe becomes modprobe.modutils and so on, while the module tools provided by module-init-tools (for 2.6 use) are simply known as modprobe and so on.
