Just a heads up that there seems to be a small problem with the latest kmod-XX 
packages from livna, in that they sometimes contain invalid symlinks to the 
wrong kernel. See here for details

https://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1436

The suggestion is this is a problem with something called  /sbin/weak-modules, 
which I had never heard off until now. I sent a mail to this list about it 
but no replies so far, so maybe I'll take it to the devel list or something.

I don't know if the fglrx kmods have this problem as well, but the two I have 
installed (nvidia + ntfs) both did.
