The instructions I *use* to have up were simpler to follow, but not
as universally applicable.

Did you put ALL those lines in rc.local?
The only two lines you should add to rc.local are the two insmod
lines. If your distribution already has a rc.local file, that's all
you need to do- add those two lines

insmod -f /usr/lib/mol/modules/mol.o
insmod -f /usr/lib/mol/modules/sheep_net.o

And don't worry 'bout the rest (except remove the other lines if you made them)

now- go to your /etc/rc.d/rc.3 directory.

In that directory look for S99local (or Sxxlocal- probably S99) and cat it

cat S99local

The result should be the rc.local file you modified. If its not,
that's your problem.

To see if the modules do in fact load at boot, reboot and type (as root)

insmod -f /usr/lib/mol/modules/mol.o

If the shell returns
insmod: a module named mol.o already exists

Then your mol modules are in fact loaded (or at least that one-
doesn't hurt to test with the others), and the problem is elsewhere.

I'll be updating the page to make it MUCH clearer tonight, I
apologize that the instructions were difficult to understand.

We will get it working!
