    Cool fedora 6 question



    hi, i'm using fedora core 6 for my first time .
    when i read in kernel programming tutorials i saw both commands :
    • insmod
    • modprobe

    but when i tried to execut the commands in the terminal it gives me this error:
    • bash: insmod: command not found
    and
    • bash: modprobe: command not found

    any idea?
    thnx in advance.

    You must log in as root to perform these system commands, or use su - (include the hyphen) {root password}
    If that still doesn't work, then use the full path like this
    /sbin/modprobe
    /sbin/insmod
    modprobe is more likely what you want to use instead of insmod.
