Commands not installed?
 
Hi,

I am trying to use the modprobe command. Everytime I use it bash comes back with command not found.

Is this supposed to happen or am I just doing something wrong?

It's supposed to happen. You need to become root before you can run modprobe:

su, root password

well, I havnt created any accounts yet because this is a new install and I am only signed into root

ok then...
type "type -p modprobe" and see if you come up with anything
it should respond with /sbin/modprobe

If you get nothing, then it's probably not on your system for some reason, or else Slackware has a different tool...kinda doubt it though
