Hi harold,I would suggest a reinstallation. Looks like you have a minimal installation of Linux on your system. Its always wise to install the entire operating system in the first go and then remove those files that aren't necessary later.

I read that DRM should not be enabled in the 2,4 kernels. Should it?
If there are any specific things that should be in the kernel, please
tell me what they are.
TIA,
Harold
