I usually try to build these old system generically so that if I get a hardware failure in a mobo, I can just move the Hard Drive or the Compact Flash drive to another system, power up and go. In your case those flags are very important to video, so what your are doing seems to be right. O2 vs Os might be something to test, particularly if ram becomes saturated by the apps. You may want to use "iotop" from portage to look at IO conveniently with 2 different (O2 vs Os) kernels..... Interested to see how it works out.... James
