modutils for Debian GNU/Linux
-----------------------------

In the 2.3 and later kernel series a couple of things have changed: 
* a list of kernel symbols is now kept in /var/log/ksymoops. 
* support for kerneld has been removed from the modutils package.

About (machine-dependent) conf.modules:
Different architectures and machine types can have different drivers
in the kernel, and thus have different modules available. Since
version 2.1.85-6, modutils has support for this. This support has been
redone in 2.1.85-12 when update-modules was introduced. See the
manpage for update-modules for all the information.
