Yes, but I'm using 2.2.7.  So, anything before 2.2.8 has problems?  I've
been reading the kernel mailing lists and there have been talks that >=2.2.8
have big problems and I really don't want to touch those right now...  The
one I am running off the cd is 2.2.1  So if I compile it, I won't have
problems?  (I've got 1gb to waist..  There's <200mb on the drive right now)
