Possible README patch
Hi Information in the README file says that when patching, the -p0 option is used with patch (eg tar xvzf .tar.gz | patch -p0). However I have never got this to work as I always get something like "can't find file to patch at line 5". However, replacing -p0 with -p1 seems to work perfectly. Maybe the penguin doesn't like me, but still, whenever I've downloaded patches I had to say -p1, not -p0... anyone else have to do this? If so, here's a wee patch for it..

Just checked - no mention of Celeron II in there- Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Celeron is the only line mentioning the celeron; maybe the PIII line could be changed to something like "Pentium III/Celeron II"?

question regarding cpu selection
Hi, This seems a silly question but - I have an intel celeron 800mhz CPU and thus it is of the Coppermine breed. But under cpu selection when configuring the kernel, should I select PIII or PII/Celeron? Just wondering, since Coppermine is basically a newish PIII with 128K less cache...

Re: booting the 2.4.1 linux kernel... tada,nada
hi, a couple of things to check here. a) when compiling the kernel, did you remember to select the proper CPU in the kernel config? b) if you are using (for example) an ATI Rage 128 you need to go into character devices and say Y to DRI X and ATI Rage 128. (I found that the latter idea fixed the same problem on my machine.) I'm a newbie, 12, so hope this helps!
