 I know what's wrong, sort of.  I tried to install `nfs', in a vmware
 running on an AMD-k6 233...  The vmware screen update is slow enough
 on this machine that I could almost read the error message that is
 quickly covered by the whiptail dialogs.  After several runs, I got
 what it said... that /etc/modutils is not a directory, and the usage
 output from insmod or something.  I looked, and /etc/modutils is a
 file.  It is supposed to be a directory.
