I think so. I got dizzy about halfway through. =)
The disk images don't have the updated kernel, but the 2.4.3 tarball DOES
have the ftp patch applied. so yeah, download the image & tarball, dig the
kernel out of the tarball, and replace "linux" on the disk with kernel.upx
from the tarball. If I remember right, this even gives you a rather large
chunk of free space on the floppy.

That sounds like it would be workable, but it makes the database a bit
larger. Not that that's really an issue with Echowall per se, but... =)

uname -r should work quite well for LRP, because if I'm correct on the
size issues I've been having, it'll be a long time before IPChains support
is included in 2.4.x kernels/images.
Then again, there's a company coming out with the LS-240 in the very near
future, which will superformat a normal floppy to 32 megs. Hows THAT for a
router disk? =)

Sure thing. I got around my wife by going out and buying her a 30-gig
drive for her computer and The Sims House Party Expansion pack.
(And now I want the 30-gig drive, since it's ATA-100 7200RPM, which makes
it faster than my 60-gig. =)
