Yes: getting familiar with recompiling kernels etc. You say that there's two features you need, and that the stock kernels available to you only support one or the other. Sounds exactly like the sort of situation in which one compiles a custom kernel. Especially since the stock kernels have all sorts of hardware support that you probably *don't* need. See http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html for a tutorial on compiling and installing kernels on Debian machines. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
