When administering a system, which command would you use to load a kernel module for immediate use without reflecting on module dependencies or its configuration?
'insmod' is the correct command for directly inserting a module into the Linux kernel without checking module dependencies. 'modprobe', in contrast, inserts a module considering its dependencies. 'lsmod' lists the currently loaded modules, and 'modinfo' provides detailed information about a specific module. Hence, the correct choice involves using 'insmod' when you do not want to account for dependencies.
