[oclug] kerneld or kmod

[chaos]

Ahaaaaaa!
See, I'm trying to load them as modules so when not needed they don't take any
resources. At this point I'm a bit reluctant to recompile the kernell, although
I'll have to do it sooner or later because I'd like to try newer kernells, because
right now I also have windows installed on this machine, both 95 and NT. Why
windows, well Java is not running that great on Linux, unfortunately. :-(((

Best regards,
