Just add each module name to the file on separate lines at the bottom of
the file. Then, on next boot,  the modules should reload (assuming that
your "sudo modprobe <module name> " commands didn't complain !)

gksudo /etc/modules     or
sudo nano /etc/modules

or whatever - depending on which editor you prefer to use. You need "admin
powers" to do modprobe and to edit that file of course... hence sudo/
gksudo (the latter is preferable for GUI apps like gedit .)

Ad no, your machine won't blow up or anything ;-)
