No stars yet.

My computer's going to be seeing stars before I do at this rate:

(Which reminds me I should go set the time right in my CMOS.)

Comments:

The "insert" script seems to think con2fbmap and kgicon.o are in
the same directory and/or con2fbmap or . is in the PATH.  Bad.

con2fbmap had to be modified to include errno.h and strings.h
