I'm sorry but my mol does not have this option:

schw-zimmer8:/home/fabian# startmol --loadonly

Mac-on-Linux 0.9.57 <www.maconlinux.org>

option '--loadonly' not recognized
option '--loadonly' not recognized
Version 0.9.57
Resource file: /etc/molrc
option '--loadonly' not recognized

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.
