Failsafe kernel installs where Mondo can't find it

[difdif@…]

Trying to solve another problem I installed the mindi-kernel package from here:

​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/src/mindi-kernel-1.0.tgz

This installed fine, but Mondo complained that it could not find the kernel when using the -k FAILSAFE option. It seems that the kernel is installed here:

/usr/local/share/mindi/

whereas mondo is looking here:

/usr/local/lib/mindi/

giving the error message:

bzip2: Can't open input file /usr/local/lib/mindi/lib.tar.bz2: No such
file or directory.
Fatal error. Please install mindi-kernel package. You need it. Go to
http://www.mondorescue.org and download it, then install it.

Solution:
Copying the files across solves the problem. Alternativly, the install script in the mindi-kernel package could be altered to install in the right place.

In fact you should be using a newest mindi-kernel, but this one is not on the ftp under a tar.gz format. Only under an rpm format.

In the mean time, you could use the updated install script attached.
I'll add the mindi-kernel later on.
