Obvious to me ;)  Not necessarily anyone else ;)  Just use the sparemint
RPM.  It's quite current..  Make sure to install the -devel rpm if it
exists.  You are using an easymint distro right?

Anyway, as I said your kernel is BUILT!  The kernel compile suceeded.
What is not done is XaAES and other tools like toswin2.  You can ignore
this unless you're interested in testing the CVS XaAES, toswin2 and
others as well.

GEMLib is not needed.  The kernel build is kind of incorrect in that it
is all encompassing, toswin2, xaaes, etc.  tons of stuff in addition to
kernel and all xfs/xdd, etc.

Thanks,
