For my SS5, I could boot and install with a kernel supplied whith the
2.2r0's.
Then I opened the box to know what's inside, and built my own kernel.
But X would not work until an update 3 months later. (as you don't need
it...).

As Ben says, I hope yours will be stable. Mine, with 32MB and used as an
xterm, always booted and worked fine.
