Karl: Reread the error message he sent (relevant section pointed out
below) - it is *not* a kernel source problem. He is missing as86 - that
is not part of the kernel source. It is an assembler program, and as
such would be part of a different package. In Debian it's in the bin86
package, in Slackware it's in the binutils package in diskset d1. I
don't know where Red Hat puts it, but I'd imagine it'll be in the
vincinity of gcc and the like. I understand you want to help, but at
least *read* the error messages people send.

That's the line telling what's wrong.

Brian: Find the package where development tools are kept. Look for the
as86 assembler. Once you find it, install it. That outta fix that
problem.
