Yeah the sysinstall problem was weird.  I'm guessing he did a
re-install instead of a configure and just didn't want to admit
it.  And my take on the Linux-compat problem was that he got a
broken version bc he was on 5.0, but that definitely set off an
alarm in my head since I've never once had linux-compat not work
fine so mebbe he didnt install it...  Overall he just needs to
google, tinker and maybe buy a book, which was my experience
with Linux as well.  I hope he does that for the 4.x review.
