OnlyHuman,

For checking what modules are loaded you can use lsmod or to see if a particular module is loaded use lsmod |grep modulename

To get information of the modules use modinfo modulename

use these commands in Konsole or a terminal app.

Thanks Jase for your help, I will try that, I read the modules.description file, and it has loads of modules listed in it, I was interested in this file as noticed that the mklivecd script refers to it. I don't think those commands give all the modules that are included in the modules.description.
