	If you notice he says /usr/src/linux does not exist so I don't think
	he will be able to do any makes there. He needs to install the kernel
	source first. This alone will probably solve his problem however
	compiling a new kernel is not a bad idea anyway. This is what he needs
	to do to make his CD-ROM drive accessable.
