Where is kernel modutils


Hi.

I'm running Fedora Core 2 and i yum updated to the latest kernel. I'm trying to install the Nvidia driver and I was checking the software dependencies. It says in the read me that I need Kernel modutils 2.1.121 and the I cant tjeck it with insmod -V. But vhen I do that bash says it can't find the command.

My question is how do I install the modutils? I've had the problem once before on Mandrake 9.1 where I use rpm-drake to search for the appropriate package but it doesn't seem that Fedora have such a search function. Can I download it via yum? Or are the package I need on the installation cd's?

Thanks in advance

commands like insmod are only on root PATH
so
su
insmod -V

the new modutils is called
module-init-tools

I already tried the su command and the insmod -V and it returned the same reply.

Since I wrote the post I tried logging in as root on the log in screen and then the insmod -V command works.

Thanks for the quick reply.
