Of course there is. You can look on cd 1 for dev-whatever or you can get
it from the CalderaSystems ftp site. Then all you have to do is use rpm
to install it. Also there is an update for the devs on that site so grab
them instead. This query should have been sent to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as it is related to the general operating
system rather than ham related. As far as runing CalderaSystems
OpenLinux 2.2 with a 2.2.10 kernel for ham related operations works
great. You should also go to the kernel.org site and read the
documentation on compiling the kernel. Did you choose the check for bad
blocks during your install?
