Out of curiousity, what's the danger in uninstalling a loaded kernel module?
That's just it - I don't know. I'm paranoid about stuff I don't know the answer to, though, which is why I don't want to delete it if it's still loaded. But you may be right. It may not be dangerous after all. Can you tell me for a fact what the answer to this is? -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org eridius@macports.org http://www.tildesoft.com
