I seem to have no modprobe on my slackware installation. any ideas? (I'm running 10.2 because I thought it was trhe latest at the time) I just installed, and this is making me mad!
I was doing it as my user, because, since my computer isnt up totaly yet, I just log in as root. when I'm done getting everything needed I'll start logging in as my normal user
Interesting. Modprobe always comes as standard when I install 10.2. Are you trying for a cut down distro? it may be that you haven't put in the package it comes in.
Did you check out it's not /sbin/modprobe since if you're using a non-root account (or su) then it might not be in your $PATH..this is the case with some distributions.
