Hi, Axel

Great text about kernel modules!! Very well written!!

I have always thought that kmod belonged to livna and kmdl to atrpms.
No doubt about what is the best solution. However, it is not clear for me
what are the implications for us, ATrpms users, of Fedora's people opinion.

I think that ATrpms with a minimum amount of documentation is unbeatable.
Jarod's  MythTV howto is the proof. I really think that the acceptance of
livna packages are becoming smaller.

Keep up with the good work.

/Paulo Roma.
