Task 6: Configuring Driver Modules

Upon successful completion of the kernel and modules installation, the follow 

ing main menu is presented:

Screen 18: Main Menu: Configure Device Driver Modules

Configuring device drivers can be a crucial step in the installation. If the

hardware includes either a modem useful for connecting to an Internet Service

Provider, or a CD ROM drive supported by the current kernel but not already

installed in the kernel, here is where those drivers are installed. If the con 

nection is through an Ethernet card, drivers for that card are installed during

this phase as well. Many other specialty devices have their drivers provided

here, so look over the list carefully to find your particular needs. Serial and

parallel drivers are found in the mis section.
