That was the problem !  As soon as I ran the reconfigure it began
building the modules.  Everything else was installed as the build ran
smoothly.

I'm not sure why they didn't get built in the first place.

Now I understand why it's not showing up when I search packages, the
module is no longer installed as part of a package but is built when
the package is installed (or is supposed to be).

Thank you very much for your help.

Now we'll see if I can get XP installed :-)
