Erm, no. Add it's name to the /etc/modules *file*. If you wanted to load
the "usbcore.ko" module on every boot, you would add the line "usbcore" to
the /etc/modules file.
FWIW, most people when referring to a file will use "/foo/bar" - note the
lack of trailing slash? This represents the *file* "bar" in the directory
"foo". Converseley, "/foo/bar/" (note the trailing slash this time?)
refers to a *directory*. At least that's been the convention /I/ was
taught (and have used) since the Fidonet days of yonder year :)
HTH,

You are optimistic and enthusiastic. You have a reckless tendency to rely
on luck since you lack talent. The majority of Sagittarians are drunks or
dope fiends or both. People laugh at you a great deal.
