That's a good question. To add more complexity to the discussion there are actually two types of "little tweaks" one could do. The first is to put something in loader.conf: foo_load="YES" The second is to put something in rc.local or the more modern /usr/local/etc/rc.d which says kldload foo It may have been that I was doing something wrong, but I found that I could not get sound loaded with the former, but I could with the latter (I think I tried both snd and pcm for my "foo" above -- it was a while ago). Of course, one could say that there are as many things to put on that list as there are .ko files in the default install of /modules, but I think such a list only needs to have the most common things in it (sound and apm related stuff for two). -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
