Re: Panel Segmentation Fault

[Steven Bradley <steven sgb dyndns org>]

Dear Randy,

Thank you for this useful gem.  Please excuse my ignorance, but for myself
(and others on the list), can you please describe how to upgrade the kernel
to 2.4.9-13 (I'm not a computer novice, I simply have never done a kernel
update before).  I will really appreciate getting this to run.  Thank you.

Steven
