The Linux version of 'vb' now requires a device-driver in order to work.
This removes the need to patch and rebuild the kernel as in the first version.
The driver has been tested in RedHat 7.2 with a 2.4.16 kernel, it should
also compiler and run with other 2.4.7-10 which is the standard kernel for
Redhat 7.2. It should also compile for most kernels in between.

Since these files are shared between the Linux and the Windows versions,
they are in windows text format, may need to remove the carriage-returns
from each line in order to compile under Linux. You can use the included
script 'TOUNIX' to do this.

To build 'vb' just untar the stuff, enter the 'vbsrc' directory and type
'make', the end result should be the 'vb' executable.

To build the driver enter the 'vbsrc/linux_drv' directory. Hopefully you
should not need to make any changes to the 'Makefile', again just type
'make' and it should build 'usbvb.o'.  To install the module type
'make load'. If you type '/sbin/lsmod' you should now see 'usbvb' in the
list. Also need to type 'make devs' to build the device files under '/dev'.
If all worked you should now be able to try running 'vb', backup to the
'vbsrc' directory and type 'vb'.

You only need to run 'make devs' once, but will need to run 'make load' each
time the computer is rebooted, may want to adjust the startup scripts to load
it each time the computer is booted.
