Very Computer

I got the following instructions for setting up a parallel port zip
100 with Linux RH 7.0 from Iomega web page:

mkdir /mnt/zip
modprobe ppa (or modprobe imm)
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

I have a man entry for 'modprobe' but can't find an executable of any
kind.  Should this be there, where should it be, where can I get it if
it is not there?  I tried Red Hat's web page with no luck.  Thanks for
any help.

Also, I cann't find a linuxconf executable either.  Does anyone think
there may be an install problem?

It should be located in the /sbin directory if you installed the
modutils package.  Locate the modutils package for your version of Red
Hat on your installation CD.

You may not have installed linuxconf - look for the linuxconf package in
the same place as the modutils package.

modprobe u can find in modutils rpm. Without packet reinstalling you can
use 'nsmod in place of modprobe.
I don't know what is 'install problem' :)
