    Your point is well taken. But I quote
     http://www.lids.org/install/install_0.11.x_1.x.html

       This text will guide you throught the installation
       of LIDS on an average Linux installation. You will
       need to patch your kernel to use LIDS. So first you
       need to get yourself the vanilla kernel source from
       www.kernel.org. Do not use any kernel source that
       is provided with your distribution because that one
       will most likely be patched.

    Where does this leave us? I wonder if anyone has gotten
    it to work, one way or the other.
    Mike.
