What is "lsmo" command? "lsmod"? I found it in the man pages.

I am willing to check/try almost anything EXCEPT compiling/making
stuff.If you want to beam me a ready-to-run lp module patched with
whatever I'ld be happy to try it. Of course trying it in the boot may
not be possible unless you beam me a whole boot disk with the patched
module, right? Let's try just the lp module first. Tell me what
directory to put it in, etc.
