*puzzled look*

Hi All,

All I really want to know is where to put the line 'alias eth0 nvnet'.  
The installation guide for the Nvidia driver file says to replace the 
line that says 'alias eth0 forcedeth' which makes sense, but there are 
problems with that.

1.  I cannot find any file with that line in it.
2.  The file other posters on the Xandros forums suggest to edit 
'/etc/modules.conf' says in big unfriendly letters at the top that it is 
not recommended to edit it by hand, so I'm left wondering *how* to edit it.
3.  '/etc/modules.conf' doesn't contain any line referring to eth0, so 
would editing it be a waste of time anyway?
4.  If I *did* edit the '/etc/modules.conf' file would I be left with a 
system trying to load both forcedeth *and* nvnet, getting very cross and 
kicking me in the teeth?

There are a couple of other niggles as well.  I'll post to the Xandros 
forums about them though :)

Kind regards,

Julian
