Is the new system documented anywhere? I had assumed that it was analogous
to Linux's (Debian's, at least) system. I have several entries under
/lib/modules:
$ ls
2.2.20 2.4.17-k7 2.4.18-k7 2.4.19-k7
Whenever I boot one of the respective kernels, it looks for its modules in
/lib/modules/$VERSION so that there's no real possibility for catastrophic
interaction.
