>USB support in 2.2.x kernels is not all that great. Use 2.4.21. Since I'm in Mexico with a slow connection I hesitate to download a 33Meg file only to find out that I need a new GCC etc...Making such a long jump (2.2.14 to 2.4.21) seems like a little over-kill to a Linux Luddite like me. Perhaps if I knew that all the Caldera e2.4 software would run without modification or complex links on a 2.4.21 kernel I might be more inclined to fiddling with it. Has anyone done that?
