 Making Mercury dotpup. Where do I install a kernel module? |
|
I am preparing a DotPup to install Mercury, a MSN mesenger with videoconference capabilities.
To allow the videoconference I am also preparint a DotPup to install the spca5xx kernel drivers.
I have it all working in my computer loading the spca5xx drivers at boot. I added the following lines to the rc.local
| Code: |
if [ ! -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/spca5xx.o ] ; then
mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb
cp /root/spca5xx.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/spca5xx.o
fi
depmod
modprobe videodev
modprobe spca5xx
|
I am doing the mkdir and cp because with a liveCD the /lib/modules/... is lost after each reboot, so for now I just left the spca5xx.o in /root.
Is there another standard location in Puppy where depmod should be looking at?
Is there a way to make modules.dep permanent?

redo the image.gz if you want it so, then remaster the cd

hehe, I meant "without remastering the CD"
I am trying to make a DotPup that anyone can install.
Thanks for the prompt response anyway.

Yeah well what ya doing is really the only solution...unless barry was to include a link in /lib to someother location, maybe /root/modules, tho we'd still have the depmod problem...unless the dep files were links to /root/modules
