    I get the following two warning messages on startup.
    1) warning: cannot open /etc/mtab. no such file or directory
    and
    2) warning: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than
    /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/modules.dep...

    AFAIC, /etc/mtab is created on startup. Then why the warning in first place?
    In the second case, probably it is as a result of running update-modules
    script after I installed a BT878 tv/fm card. Any solutions to my worries?

    p.s. running woody.
