Subject: kerneld replacement

Hi,
	We've remade the kmod patch so it works with 2.1.88:

	http://www.muppetlabs.com/linux/patches/kmod_patch9

	For those of you that don't know, kmod...

	- is a kernel thread that execve()s modprobe when a module
	  is requested, and removes unused modules after
	  /proc/sys/kernel/kmod_unload_delay seconds
	- has a much smaller kernel resident part than kerneld
	- has *no* userland part
	- removes the gross kerneld/ipc hack (eventually sysv ipc will
	  be a module)
	- requires the user to make *no* changes (unless they choose
	  to remove kerneld, that is)

	We are anxious to hear your feadback.
