Yes indeed! Thank you! Also, what was the last working kernel? I think it was .23 or .24. Will using a modern roofts from Narcissus work with the older kernel? If someone has one (I've lost all mine), I'd like to have it so I can at least use my Tosa! :) [Russell Dwiggins] [Russell Dwiggins] _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
