- In the directory "kerneld.intended_for_1.3" you can see an implementation
- of a fully automatic "on demand" loading and unloading of modules.
- This is intended to make a Linux kernel look like it had been configured
- with all drivers included. The kerneld support will make the kernel
- load any module it needs, whenever it finds out that it needs it!
- This includes filesystems, net drivers and whatever else that is
- available as kernel loadable modules... ftape and iBCS too!
-
- E.g. whenever an "ifconfig eth0 ..." is made, the relevant net driver
- is loaded, a "mount /cdrom" will load the isofs module automatically
- and so on...
- There is even support for automatic dialling of e.g. ppp-connections!
- (The connection will be gracefully taken down automatically as well)
-
- Read the file "kerneld/README.kerneld" for more info.
-
- The kerneld package is usable (and developed) on Linux-1.2.8, but is
- intended for version 1.3.*, i.e. "bleeding edge"...
