 Handling the modules (compilation option 1)
 ===========================================
 
-Once you have installed the kernel modules, you will have to make sure
-they are found.
-
-First, check whether your modutils will look in the right directory at
-all. If you used build system 1, you will probably have to add lines
-to /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf (use the one that exists, or
-take your pick):
-  (modules-2.0.0):
-    path[misc]=/lib/modules/current/extra/misc
-  (modutils-2.1.x):
-    path=/lib/modules/current/extra
-This assumes /lib/modules/current will always be linked to the correct
-modules tree. If not, you will have to change it as appropriate for
-your system.
-
-You may also have to add all default paths to this file. You can get
-a list of them by doing a `modprobe -c', before and after your changes.

-Next, you will have to run `depmod -a' to have them recognised. Most
+Run the command `depmod -a' to have the new modules recognised. Most
 distributions run this command when you boot, so if you were cross-
 compiling, you can skip this step.
