Hi there.
I just compiled a new 2.6.27-rc5 kernel for my standard Kurobox (an

Excellent instructions, thanks very much Nicholas ! I'm writing this from
my G3 Beige booted into Lenny-Debian using mutt. :) I'm a happy camper
Hi there.
In the past, there were some problems with the PREEMPT option of the

disabled it when compiling kernels from his tree (gee, that was quite
some time ago).
Does anybody know what the current status is?
Thanks in advan
