Here we go again!
Some dipstick (me) didn't actually install the sources when I installed
RH5.2 to the hard disk. Thankfully you guys are out there to keep my wheels
on the road and pointing in the right direction.
I have just compiled a kernel and I'm going to see how things go. I think I
have to find a few more modules - for the YAM and similar, but so far it
looks good. (I have the YAM module on a floppy right here!).
Special thanks to Tomi, Gerd, and Torsten, who put me right really quick!
