    WARNING:

    Before proceeding with this installation, be aware that Rational
    ClearCase version 7.0 servers no longer support VOB schema version 53.
    VOBs that have not been upgraded to use schema version 54 will be
    inaccessible until they are reformatted using the Rational ClearCase
    reformatvob command, which is a potentially time and system intensive
    process.

    If this computer is not acting as a VOB server or if you are
    installing Rational ClearCase for the first time, disregard this
    warning. See the installation documentation of the product you are
    upgrading for more information, in addition to Technote #1200047
    (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=1200047&uid=
    swg21200047&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en).


    Do you wish to exit the install to allow you to plan a VOB migration (yes, no, quit)[yes]?no


    Do you want to rebuild the mvfs module when install is
    complete (yes, no, quit, help)[no]:yes

    Enter path to your toplevel kernel source directory.
    Default is [/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL/build]:
