3. In the Search box on the Kernel Configuration page, type stape and execute the search.

The search results list will include both estape and stape modules. If either of these modules

is not installed both Current State and Next Boot State will be shown as “unused”. A state of

“static” indicates that the module is installed.

radio button. Its details will appear in a panel below the modules

list. From the right hand panel on the web page, click the Modify Module link.

2. If Mozilla is being invoked for the first time you may be asked to agree to license terms for the software.

3. The estape and stape modules are linked, so it is sufficient to select the estape module alone for installation.
