I could not get that kernel to work. Patching the sources and building my own got me a working kernel.

I keep hearing people say >"check the pub/incoming/X386 directory" but boys, there's >nothing there! Do an anon ftp to agate, then do a cd pub/incoming/X386. Then do a 'dir' and walla, there it is. The incoming directory does not have read permissions for the world so you have to know what you are looking for. It's impossible to get a listing of the files that are there. ++Brett;
