Federico,
	Thanks so much for the assistance.  I will try these things as soon as 
I get home today, since I don't have dialup working yet.  I have a 
question: is there a location for rsyncing to earlier 2.6.x kernels?  I 
would like to try to successfully compile a 2.6 kernel myself, so as to 
be able to learn more.

Regards,
