Re: kernels

[Mark Janssen <maniac@markjanssen.homeip.net>]

Maybe something like try to setup a serial/parallel link
and use zmodem to transfer your data

It is also very hard to update your kernel to potato....
either update your distro to potato, or your kernel to the
latest and greaters 2.2 or 2.4 kernel...
