I am not clear either. Said 7 to be removed but then lists all those others in

Figured this much. Never had them before until last week :-)

Will this monster work? BTW, an upgraded agpgart behaves far differently in
loading, even without a mach64 module in 2.6.3. I tried booting the old

rerun lilo. Maybe time to leave 2.4 behind?

Needed for most other compiles as well. I rarely get it work but....

apt-get --ignore-dependancies ??
