module loading?

In Sarge, the hotplug system loads some modules automagically. You can
put the names of modules you don't wanted loaded into a file in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/

And in Etch and later it's udevd, since hotplugd is obsoleted.
udevd (and so did hotplugd) configure devices that are identified in
boot time and later. If you need some specific module that isn't
loaded at boot time, you put them in /etc/modules.
You can config udevd by putting config files in /etc/udev/rules.d (you
can do usefull things like rename net devices and usb devices etc)
Please zmore /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian.gz
To blacklist modules, have a look at modutils, like
/etc/modutils/alsa-base-blacklist
I recomend a look at <http://www.debian-administration.org/> like
<http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/126>
Any more and better info, anyone?
