I installed dkms module in order to install the other dkms enabled
packages. I made a mistake, I did the -2mdk instead of the -7mdk
sources, so I guess it will not worK :(

I have no experience to limited with dkms instructions. I don't know
how to use it as I should.
I unpacked the tarball the agrsm-2.1.80-7mdk2009.0 tar ball and ran
./setup, but it fails with the following:
root@slax:~/agrsm-2.1.80-7mdv2009.0# ./setup

NOTE:
I am trying dkms on Slax Linux Live CD(formerly known as Slackware
Live CD), and I just converted a Fedora 10 package using rpm2tgz and
then using Slax special tool tgz2lzm which makes slax modules.
Thanks,
Antonio
