SubjectSV: Upgraded to 2.1.107 ... almost succesfully - Yet another foll owup.
DateMon, 6 Jul 1998 18:59:05 +0200
Yet another followup ...

MODULES:

Compiled and installed modutils-2.1.85.    <linux/kerneld.h> missing ...
I remember from talk 'back in old days' on this particular list
(-kernel), that kerneld isn't needed as the support is in the kernel
now.   So I didn't make the daemon ...

This is toooo easy.   I must be doing something wrong ...   ;o)

Best regards,

Brian
