What I was trying to say is that I could not find anything that clearly
indicated that dialog did not come with the rest of RSBAC and has to be
acquired separately.

Thought of that one before posting last night, untarred again, make dep,
make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, make install. No change

Fine for first boot, perhaps it could be made a little clearer that this
will happen on subsequent boots if nothing is changed. The log messages
'generating standard entries' sort of imply that something will be changed
from the initial first load state.

None, I do get a list of 'RSBAC -EINVALID_REQUEST' lines, without further
data as far as I have been able to check (my reaction time with scroll
lock is not too good). there must be about 20 each time I try to select a
new item on the menu.

Will try.
