Jordan,

My kernel is 14.062.

From somewhere, maybe the RSJ manual, I remember that the location of
lxlite is important.

If you want, I will try to locate the source of that memory and pass it on
to you.

>Meanwhile, Jack Huffman said:

>What kernel level is this recovery set built on ? I'm glad yours works,
