USe the 2.4.27 patch. It'll patch the tuner module fine. I'm using
Slack 10, and it's also got 2.4.26, so I know it works. Well, patch
anyway. I still haven't gotten the thing compiled and installed yet. I
just reinstalled slack last night because the previous attempt fubar'd
everything so bad. I can patch it fine, and compile it fine, but so far
the install is eluding me. I've got some things to try yet though.
Let me know if you find a good way to install ONE module and not the
whole shebang.
