- <para>The configuration files should simply contain a
- list of kernel module names to load, separated by
- newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
- non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
-
- <para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
- <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
- Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override
- files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
- Files in <filename>/run</filename> override files with
- the same name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
- <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install their
- configuration files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files
- in <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
- administration, which possibly decides to override the
- configurations installed from packages. All files are sorted
- by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
- directories they reside, to ensure that a specific
- configuration file takes precedence over another file with
- an alphabetically later name.</para>
