3 1a) If you want to install in /sbin:
5 make moveold (if installing for the first time).
7 "make moveold" renames the old insmod, modprobe, rmmod and lsmod to
8 insmod.old, modprobe.old, rmmod.old and lsmod.old, and the matching
13 1b) If you want to install in /usr/local/sbin:
17 "make links" makes links to the previous insmod, modprobe, rmmod and
18 lsmod (which are in /sbin) in /usr/local/sbin
24 3) If running for the first time, you might want to convert your old
25 modules.conf to modprobe.conf:
27 ./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf
29 4) If you are using devfs, copy modprobe.devfs to /etc
31 5) You will need to run "depmod" for your new kernel, eg:
35 6) If you want to hack on the source:
37 (or in full: aclocal -I m4 && automake --add-missing --copy && autoconf)
39 If this is all too complicated, I recommend getting and installing the
40 source rpm or debian package instead.
