[cobalt-users] MetaDot

["Steve Ball" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I'm going through the Metadot install but I'm having a problem installing
the Perl module DBI.
The mail below is one I found from the perl archives.

Does anyone know if the "kernal-headers package" is installed on the RaQ3?

Thanks,

Steve

Question:  When you upgraded your redhat installation, did you install the
kernel-headers package?  Is there a /usr/include/asm link?  The latter
usually is created during the kernel-headers install...
