RE: Linux woe- overcome!

That is why I have set up the instructions I give out and the scripted
installation to use the kernel packages that are on the current CD. By
taking all of the parts off the CD you are guaranteed to have them in sync.
All you have to make sure of is that the CD has the 2.0.36 kernel and then
you will be set.
