Description
This package is an add/on or replacement for modutils for .ko-type kernel modules.
Current version is 0.9.12, located at http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules
Commands used to build are:
./configure --prefix=/ (install to /sbin & /bin) make moveold (backs up old modutils binaries) make make install ./generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf
Just adding this in because of some of the recent discussion regarding preparation for 2.6 by adding in this package.

Down to P5 until discussion on lfs-dev (http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2003-November/040324.html) shows what to do with it.

Closing for now. Does not have any use for 2.4 kernels, you still need modutils regardless. Reopen this bug when 2.6 kernel is going to be used by the book.
Will add after 5.0 release.
