I'll jump into this one, too...  I'm a Linux newbie, but I ran alien
on the RPM and it converted to a .deb package just fine.  But after
installing it and following the documentation for MOL, I got this:

Does anyone have an idea as to what the next step is?  Do I have to
upgrade my kernel?  I ran apt-get install update and received a
message that I have the most current version.

As a beginner, I'd appreciate any advice from the more savvy.

Thanks,

Chris
