Perhaps I am missing the problem as you are stating it. Are you of the
belief that I'm talking about a large package that needs to be installed
any place other than /usr/src/linux/scripts? I don't think it would be
much of a task for a user (as root, indeed) to untar and ungzip a file
with some scripts, docs, and such. I don't think it is difficult at all.
Does anyone *else* think that the method I have proposed is
overly-demanding and difficult?
Furthermore, you ought to be more careful about what you consider
"intelligence". There are a good many people who are quite intellegent
and know nothing about computers. (Sometimes I think that avoidance of
these damned things demonstrates superlative facilities of reason...) I am
quite sure that neither John Stewart Mill or Plato knew what a Bourne
shell is, yet we would be hard pressed not to consider them "intellegent".
