debians dosemu does not use modules. Compiling a module for a kernel
version did not insure that the module ran on the SAME kernel version with
a different kernel configuration. The special insmod of dosemu
bypassed the symbol table! At that point after some bug reports I decided
to remove modules altogether from dosemu because it was too dangerous.
The dosemu project + Linus subsequently decided to incoporate dosemu
support in the kernel itself which is now in 2.1.X. All recent dosemu
versions compile without modules. They can be configured for the advanced
kernel support in 2.1.X (and patchable into 2.0.X). That I cannot do since
dosemu is supposed to run on 2.0.X.
