 Why doesn't modules.conf persist after reboot? |
|
I added lines to /root/.etc/modules.conf but rebooting copies the old file over it.
Shouldn't the non "0" ending files save into the pup file & be restored.
/root/.etc/rc.d/rc.local persisted when I wrote to it, why not /root/.etc/modules.conf?
I thought the "0" ending files were the ones that were copied over from image.gz on reboot.

I think you need to specify which version of Puppy you are running, and possibly your overall boot setup.
I just did | Code: | | echo "# `date`" >>/etc/modules.conf |
verified the comment line was in there, and then rebooted. It stayed in there. This is in Puppy 1.0.8, booting from CD using a pup001 file on /dev/hda3 which is an ext3 partition.
Maybe this was fixed in 1.0.8?

Sorry... Puppy105, PizzaPup, & EmptyCrust - poormans, all seem to write over the modules.conf file.
Must be a boot script bugaboo, pup001 is made on first run, but it keeps getting written over after that.
I could try to find & fix it, but putting a command in rc.local to copy a link over the file is a lot simpler.
With a link, any changes will go to the real file that isn't copied over, so it'll persist.

Yes, versions before 1.0.8 do overwrite modules.conf.
For 1.0.8, also puppy2, you can edit modules.conf and it will persist.
