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"...
