Mike: If its inappropriate to reply directly, I apologize! But I couldn't resist inquiring if you really think some things have changed since 2005? Just because the entire banking system has failed is no reason to think linux would change :-)
Truthfully that kernel and distribution has done everything I need to date. I'm mainly curious why it didn't install. If its a library problem I will post to the newsgroup. I haven't checked yet. But if that were the case I would expect errors during the build. That's what confuses me, it says it builds and installs cleanly.... I believe it came with a set of tests that all ran successfully also. Perplexing.
