But I quote http://www.lids.org/install/install_0.11.x_1.x.html This text will guide you throught the installation of LIDS on an average Linux installation. You will need to patch your kernel to use LIDS. So first you need to get yourself the vanilla kernel source from www.kernel.org. Do not use any kernel source that is provided with your distribution because that one will most likely be patched. Where does this leave us? I wonder if anyone has gotten it to work, one way or the other. Mike. -- Michael D.
