I don't know if FreeBSD's Linux compatibility supports Linux kernel modules or not. If you feel like experimenting, you could install the modutils RPM, which would give you the above files. The modutils from RedHat 6.1 will be on your favourite RedHat FTP mirror in .../redhat-6.1/i386/RedHat/RPMS/modutils-2.1.121-14.i386.rpm (I'm assuming you've already got the linux_base 6.1 port installed.) To install it, do something like: % rpm --root /compat/linux -i --ignoreos modutils-2.1.121-14.i386.rpm I doubt that insmod will work though. If it did, I would have expected modutils to be included in the linux_base port. -- Lachlan O'Dea <mailto:lodea@vet.com.au> Computer Associates Pty Ltd Webmaster Vet - Anti-Virus Software http://www.vet.com.au/ "No, no, there is no why." - Yoda, Jedi Master To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
