And on a RedHat type system even the documentation included with the package does not work. :( The proper procedure would be to set your environment variable for KERNEL_DIR first. This is from a posting on 10-Sep-2002 by Fabrice (Thank you Fabrice!) # KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 ./runme pending or # export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4; ./runme pending Of course be sure to set your KERNEL_DIR to the correct directory and read the "INSTALL" file that comes with the PoM package to ser the appropriate patch options. We should get the package maintainers to correct the FAQ and the PoM dox. /*Raj*/
