I tested the _kernel_ on my C650 and it worked, including booting, using X,
accessing my ISP and using ftp via PPP. The system was up continuously for
> 1 hr with no problems. (I couldn't communicate between my PowerBook and
the C650 by ethernet, but I'm not sure that this problem was the fault of
the kernel.)
I didn't repeat the reinstallation process--just extracted and re-gzipped
(with macGzip) the kernel, renaming it vmlinux-2.2.21.gz, and used my
preexising Penguin-18 to boot with it. I also installed the modules (not
recognized in /lib/modules/2.2.17, the directory they came in; I had to
rename this directory to 2.2.21 and copy a modules.dep into it from
elsewhere.)
