The contents for the version that I found were the below.

There is a newly generated file for modprobe.conf, within my etc 
directory now. It doesn't show with locate though. It is about 5124 
bytes and contains the excerpt listed below.

<snip>
install dummy0 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy0 --ignore-install dummy
install dummy1 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy1 --ignore-install dummy
install hid /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install hid && { /sbin/modprobe 
keybdev; /sbin/modprobe mousedev; /bin/true; }
install net-pf-10 /bin/true
install net-pf-19 /bin/true
install net-pf-3 /bin/true
install net-pf-6 /bin/true
<snip>

I take it that this was created by the script command, that you passed on.
The information that I got, when running the command that you suggested 
that it was not translating the modules that pertained to the 2.4 build.
I take it that this is the desired behavior, for the script.
