I want to make some module installation without compiling the kernel,instead of make #modprobe for every time I start linux.
Thanks in advance.

I think it doesn't make any difference, because I talked about modules and kernel it self or maybe I'm wrong. Anyway I'm using FC5 and 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp kernel.

It makes difference
It makes difference. Most distros have a tool to fix this automatically, but you can also edit /etc/modules.conf

You do want to install
You do want to install modules or load modules at boot time
You're talking about loading modules at boot time, I suppose

Oh! sorry .
truly I mean load it in boot time to avoid make #modprobe every time. I check kernel configuration and discover that the modules I want to install is allready built as a module in kernel, but as you said need to be load in boot time.
I'll check /etc/modules.conf and see it's manual
Thanks pronco for this tip.

That'll solve it
That'll solve it, but it might confuse FCs automatic module tools. I dunno.
I'm sure looking at /etc/modules.conf is worth it. It might even tell you what tool to use.

I discoverd that the
I discoverd that the /etc/modules.conf replaced with modprope.conf in 2.6 kernel and it's a simplification of it, used in 2.4 kernels and earlier.
Is this true or modules.conf in other place in fc5 ? and which the true file to edit to be able to load modules in boot time?

check out /etc/modutils/*
check out /etc/modutils/* , maybe?
maybe your /etc/modules.conf are updated using files found in /etc/modutils/*
there's something else called generate-modprobe.conf command script comes with module-init-tools that translate your old /etc/modules.conf into /etc/modprobe.conf
