As for mol the upgrade is straight forward (Mostly). Just kinda lengthy.

1. Remove the old mol. As root:
	rpm -e mol mol-kmods

2. Download the lastest source rpms (src.rpm) from: http://www.maconlinux.org/download.html
	As root:
		rpm -rebuild  mol-0.9.65-1.src.rpm
		rpm -rebuild  mol-kmods-0.9.65-1.src.rpm

	Note. You have to have the kernel headers for your kernel installed. So, apt-get install kernel-headers-x.x.x

3. Install the new mol:
	rpm -Uvh /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/mol*

4. run molvconfig, edit /etc/mol/molrc.osx

5. As root 'rmmod mol' then 'insmod mol' 

6. Run 'startmol --osx'
