> Is there a compilable kernel anywhere on this planet that will not bail
What compiler are you using Mark? You recommended that I download Quanta
and I did. The compile blew up telling me that I don't have iostream
(that's how I realized that I don't have the basic C++ library). I've
noticed that these were added to 2.95-2 (I think that's the one). I'm
assuming you had no such compile problems so I wonder why.

Looks to me that this is the beginning of the fall. The question is why
you don't have that. I just checked it and I've got it from a standard
7.1 developer install. You aren't using 2.96 are you? It's available,
RedHat's included it in their v7.0, but it won't compile the supplied
kernel code.

So where are they? Have they been compiled or did their compile fail
too? Wish I could help but I haven't played with rebuilding the Linux
kernel.
