Give that man a cigar. I responded to him that no, i had .32. It turned out that i did indeed have .32.
After a few hours, I gave up and did a clean install of frozen on another partition. Some is a little cleaner, but there's some new glitches:
a) subdomain names aren't allowed. eyry.econ.iastate.edu cannot be of domain iastate.edu; i had to know where to edit this myself
b) no keyboard shortcuts durning install steps anymore
c) a redhat-style "what type of system" popped up. I didn't know how to mark these; everything i tried didn't work, but I didn't think of space until after i tried "enter" at one i wanted.
Anyway, i managed to install in a blank partition, have managed to make a 2.0.32 kernel, and am running again. I have e2fsck looking for bad blocks on the old partition. But what if it doesn't find any? Do I just blast it and reformat?
another couple of miscellenay:
d) if kernel-headers is installed after kernel-source, it seems to change the linux symlink to itself. libc6dev seems to demand kernelheaders even if source is already installed. this also causes "include/asm" is a directory problems
e) make zlilo still seems to use the partition rather than the device for "boot". THat is, it creates boot=/dev/hda10 rather than boot=/dev/hda
