I didn't know port 81 had ever worked on that machine.

The header package is on the cd image too unless I screwed up. I am pretty sure I put it there since it seemed like it could be useful to keep. > (3) Or should I upgrade to 2.6.13?

Upgrading past 2.6.12 requires getting yaird or initramfstools installed on sarge somehow. It can be done however. Yaird is not too hard to backport. If I have some time I may update the image to have 2.6.15 + yaird on it soon. It will take some work though. I would probably make an i386 version at the same time if get the time. The newer kernel is very nice, so it is probably worth the trouble. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
