It goes on without problems had no problems compiling. It includes the modifications to the ppa driver to use 32 bit EPP. I originally installed this patch just so I could use my zip drive and my printer at the *same time*. Now linux actually shares the 2 better than Win95 ever did (not a big surprise). The extra speed was an unexpected bonus. Anyway, try it out. You'll probably like it.
