I'm sorry but my mol does not have this option:
------------snip-----------
schw-zimmer8:/home/fabian# startmol --loadonly
=================================================================
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.57 <www.maconlinux.org>
(C) 1997-2001 Samuel Rydh <samuel@ibrium.se>
=================================================================
option '--loadonly' not recognized
option '--loadonly' not recognized
Version 0.9.57
Resource file: /etc/molrc
option '--loadonly' not recognized
------------snip-----------
nor does mol start as user, even when I started mol first as root and the
modules are loaded. I always get the message that mol must be run as root.
Some sort of initscript that loads the required modules at boottime would be
nice.
