DSL Tips and Tricks :: Removing Kernel Modules

I'm new to DSL and was wondering how I might prevent the umem.o kernel module from loading. I'm using a USB drive installed from the cdrom image I downloaded a few days ago.

add to that....
how to make new module that u want to run at the boot up also?
thanx

Don't know what umem.o is for (I'm assuming there's no bootcode?), but you can delete that file. And then you could run depmod.
Or you could just remove that module's path from the *.modprobe lists...
Or even make your own bootcode...

To add one, if the app/system did not autoload it, you can specify the commands in /opt/bootlocal.sh

I haven't gotten into the structure of DSL, but when I try to do something OS related I run into RO file system errors.
(ie delete, rename, etc.)
How would I delete that file?
Remount /dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX as RW?
The umem.o driver is for a cache card from micromemory.com.

You can remove the symlinks/files on the ramdisk and copy over the actual files from /KNOPPIX to /ramdisk
You should be able to run depmod/edit things after... then you could do a remaster with the changed structure/files.

I don't know if you can remount it as RW, I've always edited things separately with a copy (I suppose you could do this in a toram though)
