I think all I've ever used on the Mac was 2.2 kernels. I'm a bit afraid that moving to a 2.6 kernel will break all my hardware, but it's certainly worth a try. It's too bad 2.6 has broken serial. So which kernel should I try? Is there a particular one people would like feedback on? How about one of Christian Steiges' from here: http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/linux-image/ ? I looks like ljmoore had some success with 2.4.18-4 on a Quadra. I see Finn Thain has his own 2.6.20.7: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/~fthain/riccardo/ Any special advice on getting either of these running on a Q840av (2m VRAM / 128M RAM) or Q630 (56M RAM) with Sarge? I noticed from his post on this list that ljmoore had to change some things in /etc/rcS.d... JCE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
