. /etc/modprobe.conf??”Not a command, but a file that contains module variables.
These variables control how modprobe and depmod behave.
When to Recompile
There was a time when all users were warned to take a blood oath never to recompile a
SUSE kernel. The SUSE engineers had worked endlessly to make sure everything worked
just so and had the best device drivers you could get. Compiling new modules into this
carefully balanced and functional kernel could lead to disaster.
Today, openSUSE is designed to be an ???enthusiast??™s??? (read ???tinkerer??™s???) version of the
operating system. So as a user, you are almost expected to want to tweak every setting to
squeeze the most performance and individuality you can out of your computer. There??™s
even a kernel-of-the-day directory on the SUSE server that is accessible for any user. Don??™t
ever use this on a production system, but if you really like the bleeding edge of development,
you can be there every day.
Nonetheless, the vast majority of openSUSE users can (and should) rely on the kernel
shipped (and occasionally updated) by SUSE.
