This package contains programs used to manage a Linux modular
kernel. Utilities to insert and remove modules both automatically
as manual are included, as well as tools manage modules and kernel
symbols.<P>
This package is required if you want to compile a kernel with
module support enabled.<P>

Some notes about how I packaged the modutils:
<UL>
<LI> I modified depmod and modprobe so they print the pathlist only when
<CODE>-v</CODE> is given.
<LI> kerneld is compiled without the "pid" extensions. See README.kerneld
for more information.
<LI> the "persist" extension is also not included, since it is still
experimental. See README.kerneld and the example sources
check_persist.c and admpersist in the source for more
information.
<LI> support for older kernels in insmod is still relatively untested.
<LI> only 2.x.x kernels are supported
<LI> if you want to compile this package, you must have:
<OL>
<LI> binutils 2.7.0.9 or later
<LI> kernel includes from a 2.1 kernel (the newer the better).
<LI> a C compiler (obviously)
</OL>
