Hmm... I don't run GPM, but I can grab it from `dmesg` easily. I'm 
debugging a netbooted system running with uClibc, so it's not as easy as 
'apt-get install ksymoops'.

Do I need to run ksymoops on the same machine, or can I use it 
elsewhere? I don't have ksymoops built for the environment, and it'll 
take me a minute to build it because of some "interesting" decisions 
made by the RH folk that packaged binutils. "Who needs those header 
files, anyway..."

Don't bother replying if it's in TFM, which I'm about to be having a 
look over.

It's all a matter of time. I'd have to learn C first :-(
