Thanks for the hints. "/etc/modutils" on my machine is a directory
which contains
various files. Looking for some sort of documentation about how should
I go about
updating these files I found the following link:

http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Setting_Up.shtml

Which looks pretty up to date. I'll give it a go later when I'm in
front of the machine.

Thanks,
