Your right.  I found an email from way back when I was setting up on
FC2 and I had to manually load all of the following.


I tried them all just now and afterwards dmesg shows that the frontend
was loaded.  Schweeeeet!

However, I obvisouly don't think I should be manually loading all of
those.  I believe it could just be the frontend ones, but I don't
know.

Mate, you don't know how relieving it is to hear that, even now after
I have seen it working :P

I will now try and do those two modules one at a time and report back to you.

Thanks for the help.
