So I've noted, Larry. Are you offering snapshots packed as tar.gz's from time to time, something I can just nuke the existing kernel stuff and replace that whole subdir with your's? That could tempt me to try making a kernel for that lappy. But not till after I get this transmitter combo hooked up and actually running at WDTV-5. Our 50 year old GE tx uses 2 pairs of 4-1000 tubes, and I have the last tubes on the planet in that transmitter now and they are fading. So we've bought a newer Harris I'm going to use for a driver since its too small to make full power. I won't have a lot of breathing room till at least a month on down the log. Maybe longer what with needing to build the control interfaces from scratch too. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
