Since I manually type that script out, as I forgot where I put it... that was the one line I forgot to add.

"apt-cache search kernel-patch | less" should enlighten you on this. Excuse for the forgotten "export" and the patches not disclosed. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Entranced by the bitter harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your ruptured soul.
