[ovs-discuss] Centos Openvswitch-2.1.2 kernelmodule dependency

[Gurucharan Shetty]

I installed centos6.5 minimal from here:
http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/

Followed the instructions in INSTALL.RHEL (I did not use the -D
options) and this is what I see.

[root at centos6 x86_64]# ls
