BOOTX support compiled in so we will count that out. I made some
progress with with the 2.4.25-ben1 kernel I have. I had to do

options and X). It is a dual boot machine, and things were working

Thanks very much! My boy is very grateful that he gets to stay in the
house and isn't going to be put up for adoption.
