He's using redhat, the module's already there.  kerneld should autoload
it, but kerneld might not be installed/running.

As for pasting with GPM, you use the right mouse button to paste.  It

a console window, and there's newlines in there, and it's executing them,
or trying to.  paste it into an emacs or pico window instead.
