Built in – LIS are included as part of this Linux distribution. The Microsoft-provided LIS download package does not work for this distribution so do not install it. The kernel module version numbers for the built in LIS (as shown by lsmod, for example) are different from the version number on the Microsoft-provided LIS download package. A mismatch does not indicate that the built in LIS is out of date.
