VMware install - /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules file?

[Dave M]

I am unable to locate the /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules file. What 
file name does Ubuntu use for this configuration file?

Looking at:

http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_parallel_configure_linux.ht 
ml#wp1064410

I read:

You should also ensure that the line referring to the lp module in
the /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules file is removed or commented
out by inserting a hash character (#) at the beginning of the line. The
name of the configuration file depends on the Linux distribution you are
using. When you reboot the host after removing this line, the
configuration file no longer starts the lp module.

To ensure that the proper modules for the parallel port are loaded at
boot time, add this line to the /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules
file:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
