[linrad] Re: fedora core 4

[Sergio <ik2mmb@xxxxxxxx>]

thanks for quikly coming back.  I also found an old email from Roger 
W3SZ regarding an installation procedure under Debian, so I tried to 
follow it.  I am not using an Intel machine , so I adjusted the kernel 
image and everything for my processor which is a K7.

Trying to install sgvalib 1.9.21 the compiler seemed to go thru well but 
then it got stuck as follows:

----cut---
                 from include/linux/sched.h:7,
                 from include/linux/module.h:10,

Here's where I stopped now.  In case you have some idea let me know.
Seems like I am missing something under the svgalib_helper...

Ciao
