I am already in root when I am trying to launch the script (typing "su" 
in a console then the root password).

But I found a beginning of solution: I must specify the right path in my 
script, i.d. /sbin/modprobe instead of modprobe alone.

But wait, in a console, when I am root, I can't run "modprobe", so I 
guess my PATH variables were not set up during the install... Remember: 
I didn't touch nothing since I installed 0.94, excepted installation of 
the speedtouch driver.

I noticed that the tab option in console don't work at all. (usually, it 
allows me to see all the commands beginning with the letters "mod" for 
example, sorry I don't know the english name of this trick).

Where can I find documentation about my path variables? How is it that 
even with superuser I must type the "/sbin/modprobe" instead of 
"modprobe"? Does anyone got the same bug while testing 0.94?

Regards,

Kibosh
