Hi Sven

As I reported, when I tried to boot the installer from initrd.gz and
vmlinux from the 2.6 folder, I got a kernel panic - sorry I didn't note
the exact error but it related to USB and my beige G3 doesn't have USB.
I'd be happy to acquire a USB/PCI card but that will take a little
while.  Or is there another image you'd like me to try?

If you want me to try booting the 2.6 kernel again and record the error
message, let me know.

Regards

Clive
