Re: Need help with Netwinder - cyber2000fb kernel command for kernel 2.4.16

["B. Douglas Hilton" <bdhilton@charter.net>]

I didn't do either. I enabled "Config Hotplug" and
it magically compiled. I picked that tip up on
the net somewhere and have no idea how or
why it works, but it did. My kernel is about 650K,
with all the goodies. Had to build sound and
video as modules. It works great!

Later!
