attached is an extensively modified version of a modutils spell which I made
up today. The details file needs some cleaning

modutils- 2.4.24
integrate with module-init-tools-0.9.10 for linux 2.5.66

I am writing this on linux-2.5.66 and my modules load ok

the only problems that I've noticed are that dosfsck is very slow and
sometimes when I shutdown, the kernel crashes after unmounting everything.
kde3.1.1 runs fine
