  Well, unless I use the "doconfig" when making the kernel (which has been
  known to give unpredictable results, like removing important device drivers
  entries, &c.) I get a whole lot of undefined symbol errors. I thought I was
  doing something stupid, asked a few other programmers on campus who complained
  of the same problem. Maybe we're ALL doing something stupid.

  Most of the departmants on campus (due to our site agreement) are using the
  same set of tapes to install... copies made by a campus agency... I don't
  know.

  Thanks for the rebuttal,
