Thanks, Ernest. I definitely had trouble with the driver modules for the
Slink 2.0.36 kernel, so it looks like I'll be trying to use a 2.2 series
kernel like you suggested.
I'm running potato i386 at home and I'm quite happy with it, but I've
heard that potato alpha is pretty rough. This isn't exactly a production
machine I'm building. Would anyone recommend running potato at this
point?
