Hi,

Probably the easiest way is to copy "dazuko.o" to the kernel modules directory:

# cp dazuko.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers

Then update the module dependencies:

# depmod -a

Now you can load Dazuko at any time by using:

# modprobe dazuko

(Both depmod and modprobe are in the /sbin directory, in case it is not 
already in your PATH.)

If you want Dazuko to automatically whenever some application tries to use 
it, then you can create the following entry in /etc/modules.conf:

alias char-major-254 dazuko

This assumes that Dazuko uses device major 254. You can `cat /proc/devices` 
to see which is used.
