I can't answer all of this, but I can provide some insight to number 2: > 2. The PATCH_THE_KERNEL environment variable. Where is this set? I don't > seem to have one in my, or root's environment. Should I just add it to my, > and/or root's, .bashrc or .bash_profile? If so, which one? It sounds like, from the rest of what you wrote, you need to set PATCH_THE_KERNEL to "AUTO". Environment variables can be created at any time for a shell and its subshells simply by doing the following from a prompt: export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=AUTO And that's it. If you do a 'printenv' at this point, you will see this new variable in your environment. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
