All right, making assurance doubly sure, I logged in using "su - root" *and* did cd before /sbin/lsmod. I see columns labelled Module, Size, and Used by. "e100" is not mentioned in any of them -- and without a Net connection, I have no way to download anything. Can I get it off the CDs, as I must have been doing before? Or is it there somewhere and has to be activated or enabled somehow? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
