This was a useful bit of information, so I added it to the Wiki[1].  I 
was a little surprised that question 3.28 was already asked, but hadn't 
been answered before.  So I answered it first.  I also found some 
instructions for RedHat Linux which I also added.  Please check and see 
if I got this item right.
