Hi Peter, thanks for the link.  It gave me some ideas anyway....

So it would appear that mol doesn't think it's got kernel modules.

OK that seems OK, so I tried insmod

it exited with no feedback so I assume it's loaded, but to make sure  
I did this:

> /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-powerpc/misc/mol.ko

So it would appear that the module (which is 65k in the file system,  
I checked it exists) really is loaded.

There is a package at
/usr/src/mol-modules-2.6.12-10-powerpc_0.9.70+ubuntu0_powerpc.deb
which I ran at the appropriate time in the instructions.

So on one hand I have startmol saying it's got no modules, on the  
other hand I've got the kernel saying it loaded them.  Assuming I'm  
understanding this stuff correctly.  One thing that puzzles me and  
may be a clue, is that the web page above (which is no longer found  
as of this morning?) lists the kernel module's file name as mol.o  
where the file I have and the MacOnLinuxHowTo page has the file name  
as mol.ko

Anybody got any ideas?
