It is suggested to install the prerequisites and build and install
ndctl _before_ changing the kernel to 6.5.  This guarantees your
build environment is as complete as possible before dealting with the
dependencies of the new kernel.


The following scripts will run sudo and ask you for your password:
1_ndctl_prerequisites.sh installs the development environment for ndctl
2_ndctl_build_install.sh downloads, builds, and installs ndctl
3_kernel_6.5.sh installs the 6.5 kernel and supporting packages
