Actually, not sure right now whether I have any problem. I got one of
my Gentoo rescue CD's to boot, found out that wvdial did work, got the
latest XFS patchset, and voila, I have a working 2.4.19 system with my '
and " keys.
Still have the floppy controller to deal with, but I think it doesn't
like my cable or something- it's just a two floppy controller and I have
a four connector cable + 9 year old dual drive.
Haven't seen any lockups yet, and I really don't know what happened last
night with FreeBSD (it happened while I slept). I ran MemTest for one
pass (took just over three hours) and got no errors. KDE got b0rken so
I'm recompiling that tonight, though.
Thanks though,
Bob Raymond
