READ the README!!

I wanted to add kdb to my kernel. I went to the download site, downloaded the kdb patch for my kernel version and the architecture. Would not work. I looked up the net and found nothing.

Then I went to the download page and looked at the README and found that there is another common patch to be downloaded for kdb to work.

Looking back.. I do the same many times. Go to a Mall and ask the security personnel where the restrooms are. They show me the signboard and I wonder why I did not look at it myself.
I am not stupid. Really. These moments of stupididty pop up and I am embarassed at myself.

Now on I will make a conscious effort to look for directions before assking.
Hoping I will not shy away from asking directions when I find none.
