when i log in as root and type lsmod i get a line with column headings
and no lines of output!
i do have a running system so i don't know what this means.
i've tried your suggestion for the full path name and i stll get the
response that hfs is not supported by the kernel.
i tried the insmod command and this had no effect.
thanks for your help
