If you have the same kernel you can use the one there : https://github.com/zman0900/linux-vfio-aur
Otherwise you don't really need c competences. All you have to do is use a text editor to apply the modifications manually, it is really simple even if you don't know how to code. 2016-04-18 19:04 GMT+02:00 Brett Peckinpaugh <[email protected]>: > Thanks for replying. > > To stress, I am new to this process.
