That particular README sent me over the edge, and I thought I was just unable to grasp what was going on. Since then, probably 20 or 30 kernel compiles later, I happily still compile by hand and love it. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.10-pre9 FreeBSD 4.3

I did much the same, except that when the popup "Generating font matrix" appeared, I did something (closed the box ??), I just don't remember exactly what, and then kylix came up fine. Whatever I did was suggested in a previous post that I found on google. Anyway, it has run fine since that initial problem. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.9 FreeBSD 4.3

Do a search for "linmodem" and see if you modem is usable. I came late to this thread, so forgive me for jumping in. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.6 FreeBSD 4.3

If you have kernel source code installed, you can do: cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.x. make include/linux/version.h and you should have version.h
