[CLUE-Tech] Install question: Thanks!

[Francis X. Maier]

Many thanks to David Anselmi and others from the CLUE list who sent 
along advice on my query below.  After a couple false starts, I finally 
got my new kernel installed and running.  First time, and a nice little 
rush!

Again, thanks folks.
