Utilities for the loading of kernel modules. Included are 'insmod', 'lsmod', 'rmmod', 'depmod', 'modprobe'. The configuration file /etc/modules.conf can be used to pass parameters to the modules. 'depmod' should be used after compiling a new kernel to generate the dependancy infor- mation. 'insmod' does not use the dependancy nor the options file. Therefore, 'modprobe' is normally used to load a module.
These utilities are required if you are using a modularized Kernel. Only remove this package if you know exactly what you are doing!
