Yep, but notice that the linuxppc devels have mostly abandoned the 2.4 branch, so going for 2.6 kernels is really the way to go, especially for your hardware. I still need to do a couple security fix builds for the 2.4.27 kernels too. > As far as installing Sarge I'm setting up the machine to be a DHCP and > registration server for a network.

Especially if you need only a small subset of packages, it should be no major problem. I would definitively prefer sarge with a 2.6.8 kernel at this date over a woody with a 2.4.18 or 2.4.27 kernel, especially if you are going to have the machine running on the network. See above for the reason of it. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
