Re: Who will do `depmod -a' in Etch?





I might not know what I'm talking about here, but you might take a
look at the postinst scripts of the linux-image-* packages. They run
depmod for you after the kernel package is installed.

Do other distros run depmod at every boot?


I understand. In order to speed up the boot, depmod is executed only once.

Best regards,
Yuwen
