USe the 2.4.27 patch.  It'll patch the tuner module fine.  I'm using 
Slack 10, and it's also got 2.4.26, so I know it works.  Well, patch 
anyway.  I still haven't gotten the thing compiled and installed yet.  I 
just reinstalled slack last night because the previous attempt fubar'd 
everything so bad.  I can patch it fine, and compile it fine, but so far 
the install is eluding me.  I've got some things to try yet though.

Let  me know if you find a good way to install ONE module and not the 
whole shebang.
