Couple issues I see. First: > If the host kernel is either 2.6.x, or it was not compiled using a > GCC-3.0 (or later) compiler, you will have to replace the kernel... I think that should read something like: If the host kernel is *older than* 2.6.x, or it was not compiled using a GCC-3.0 (or later) compiler, you will have to replace the kernel... Second, I'm not so sure that gcc-2.95.3 is valid anymore. Certainly it isn't valid for the kernel; it might be less confusing to just require gcc-3.x (or greater) for the entire system. Last, the version-check.sh script doesn't work with my coreutils 5.2.1 installation. "chown --version | head -n 1" says "chown (coreutils) 5.2.1", but cut is trying to display the fourth space-separated field. There is no such field, so it displays nothing. I hope that this was just a typo (and it should be cut -d" " -f3 instead), but it is possible that not all coreutils chown programs give the same format output.
