The files in this directory are scripts for implementing the user level 
configuration for Linux system crash dumps and modified system scripts.  

There is also one example sial script file implementing a 'ps' command
that should be copied to your ~/.lcrash directory or to the system wide
directory /usr/share/sial/lcrash. This file is called 'ps.sial'.

The files are:

sbin.lkcd
  This file is an executable script that should reside as /sbin/lkcd.
  It has two arguments: 'config' and 'save'.  'config' will turn on the
  configuration parameters of the kernel once /proc is mounted.  'save'
  saves the crash dump based on parameters in /etc/sysconfig/dump.

sysconfig.dump
  This file is a set of configuration variables that are used to both
  configure and save virtual memory crash dumps.  Please review the
  file for information on each configuration variable.

installkernel.patch
  The installkernel.patch needs to be applied to the /sbin/installkernel
  script to add support for the additional Kerntypes kernel build target.
  Note that the /sbin/installkernel script only exists on RedHat based
  systems.

rc.sysinit-redhat62.patch
rc.sysinit-redhat70.patch
rc.sysinit-turbo.patch
  One of the release specific rc.sysinit patches should be applied to 
  the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit startup script on all RedHat and Turbo Linux 
  based systems. In each case, the patch adds several calls to the 
  new /sbin/lkcd script, to ensure that the system is configured for 
  saving system crash dumps and that dumps actually get saved after 
  a system crash. In addition, these patches move the "swapon -a" call 
  so that it is made only after all local file systems are mounted and 
  a system dump, if one exists, has been copied to a file on disk.
