I would like to load the ZIP imm module automatically whenever I access the Zip
drive as a normal user. So, I started to look for information on modules.conf
and found its man page, which I found a bit misleading in regard to syntax,
etc.Can anyone point me a good source on modules.conf before I ask how to it
here ?

Thanks in advance,

An OutSider

PS.: I know about the rc.modules, /sbin/modprobe imm.

alias device module-name

# modulename doesn't include the ".o"

ie.: alias eth0 tulip

If your kernel has kmod enabled, as Slackware kernels since 8.1 do, you
don't need any modification of modules.conf. Oh wait ... maybe you need
alias scsi_hostadapter imm

"/sbin/modprobe -c" might help. Anyway I this you have your answer.

Thank both of you. I started to read the modules howto and will test this solution.
Anyway, thanks.
