| READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE YOU MAY DESTROY YOUR OLD UTILS! |
| |
| 1a) If you want to install in /sbin: |
| ./configure --prefix=/ |
| make moveold (if installing for the first time). |
| |
| "make moveold" renames the old insmod, modprobe, rmmod and lsmod to |
| insmod.old, modprobe.old, rmmod.old and lsmod.old, and the matching |
| manpages. |
| |
| OR, |
| |
| 1b) If you want to install in /usr/local/sbin: |
| ./configure |
| make links |
| |
| "make links" makes links to the previous insmod, modprobe, rmmod and |
| lsmod (which are in /sbin) in /usr/local/sbin |
| |
| 2) Now, build it: |
| make |
| make install |
| |
| 3) If running for the first time, you might want to convert your old |
| modules.conf to modprobe.conf: |
| |
| ./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf |
| |
| 4) If you are using devfs, copy modprobe.devfs to /etc |
| |
| 5) You will need to run "depmod" for your new kernel, eg: |
| |
| depmod 2.5.50 |
| |
| 6) If you want to hack on the source: |
| aclocal && automake --add-missing --copy && autoconf |
| |
| If this is all too complicated, I recommend getting and installing the |
| source rpm or debian package instead. |
