Oh, by the way, if I try to manage the Kernel from the KDE Control Center,
it complains, "No hardware architecture was specified! Perhaps the Kernel
source code is not installed on this system, or the path to the Kernel
sources is entered incorrectly." The displayed path to the Kernel sources
is /usr/src/linux. I have the kernel source in
/usr/src/linux/kernel-source-2.4.27. The hardware architecture drop-down is
blank, and cannot be changed.
