-kernel-modules: A kernel module is a piece of object code that can be dynamically
-kernel-modules: loaded into the Linux kernel to provide new kernel functions. Most of
-kernel-modules: these modules provide support for devices such as CD-ROM drives, tape
-kernel-modules: drives, and ethernet cards. You can choose which modules to load by
-kernel-modules: editing /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.

+kernel-modules: Kernel modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into
+kernel-modules: the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel
+kernel-modules: without the need to reboot the system. These modules provide support
+kernel-modules: for hardware such as USB devices, RAID controllers, network
