It must have been a pretty old version; I've never seen a /dell directory in any version I've used. The current (2.0.0) rpm contains the following files (only): $ rpm -ql dkms /etc/dkms/framework.conf /etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkrpm.spec /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller /usr/sbin/dkms /usr/sbin/dkms_mkkerneldoth /usr/share/doc/dkms-2.0.0 /usr/share/doc/dkms-2.0.0/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/dkms-2.0.0/COPYING /usr/share/doc/dkms-2.0.0/sample.conf /usr/share/doc/dkms-2.0.0/sample.spec /usr/share/man/man8/dkms.8.gz /var/lib/dkms /var/lib/dkms/dkms_dbversion I use dkms to build modules for the advansys driver (one machine only - I only have one Advansys card) and also the MPPE module for VPN use (several machines, see also http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora-core-2.phtml). I've not had any significant problems with it in the last 6 months. In fact, since I've only been concerned about building the advansys module myself since the last but one kernel update (the first that didn't include the advansys module), I wouldn't have chosen to use dkms if I didn't think it was the best/easiest way to do it.
