Bill - Perhaps I don't understand the process. How about those of us who have a play
box where the hardware config changes a lot with time? Should not the script be run
everytime it detects a diff between the most recent modules.conf and the modprobe.conf? Or
something like that anyway. Seems that it should be trying to pick up changes more
frequently anyway.

The converter runs on the initial install of a 2.6-capable modutils
package.

Maintain both, unfortunately.

How do you diff something with different formats? It's potentially
possible to run it based on timestamps. 

Our general hope is that for testing people can handle edits, and
then for general use, people will go to 2.6 and not go back. :)
