Utilities for the loading of kernel modules. Included are 'insmod', 'lsmod', 'rmmod', 'depmod', 'modprobe'. The configuration file /etc/conf.modules can be used to pass parameters to the modules; for this reason 'modprobe' is recommended for loading modules.
These utilities are required if you are using a modularized Kernel. Only remove this package if you know exactly what you are doing!
