Several days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

why cant you lsmod as a regular user?
rick@alpharhix:~$ whereis lsmod
lsmod: /sbin/lsmod /usr/share/man/man8/lsmod.8.gz
rick@alpharhix:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
As you can see... /sbin/ isnt in a regular user's $PATH, as it should be. If you do want to execute it as a normal user you could do "/sbin/lsmod".
