Description Eric Bachalo 2009-02-13 19:01:07 UTC
Description of problem:
The section on Installing and Setup in SystemTap Beginner's Guide I believe should mention the debuginfo-install tool for installing kernel (and other packages) debug-info rpms.  It is simpler than installing and running scripts if the person is trying out systemtap on current latest kernel.

Comment 1 Don Domingo 2009-02-18 02:59:09 UTC
thanks Eric. I've updated the guide to instruct  users to use yum install and debuginfo-install instead of the automated script. temporary build available here:
