Thanks Charlie, I'll give the new kernel a try once I can get my internet connection to stay up long enough to download the file! I have an 'unlimited' monthly-paid dialup package, but each session is supposedly time-limited to 2 hours - and unfortunately, I frequently get dropped well before the 2 hour limit. I can redial immediately of course, but that doesn't help when I'm trying to download a file the size of a kernel :-(
Meanwhile, what does the extra 'S' stand for? Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Sooooo Boring?
An extra sync just before unmounting the filesystems and rebooting. It's the way I first learned the shutdown procedure "raising skinny elephants is sometimes utterly boring"

There's an even newer version available just now. 17.6 MB's, should be about one hour on a 56K dialup. I don't know if Thomas' site supports resume.
