First of all thank you for your assistance.


I applied it and:

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-586tsc/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc: 
command not found
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-586tsc/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: gcc: 
command not found

environment: you wanted to use gcc version 3.3.6 while kernel attempts to use

Unable to build the vmmon module.

This is a trial version.  I believe they have 30 days support with the full 
version.  May have to buy that, but only if it has a money back policy.  
Feeling rather frustrated (he whines).

I am willing to try anything else that may do it.  So keep it coming!
