Modules in RH7.x

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

I'd say that's so, but it's even better.  As I noted, if I load a module 
for a NIC in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, I then have to tell the OS to use it as 
eth0 in /etc/modules.conf.  If I add it in /etc/modules/default, the 
operating system seems to figure that out.  I suppose there could be a 
downside to that, in that you might have two NICs, and want to specify 
eth0/eth1.

And, yes, though I have never liked COAS, Caldera seems to be good about 
supplying tools that don't make other tools impossible to use.
