WhooHoo!!!
Very cool, is source available? or will it be made available? How much
testing has been done with it and under what versions of linux? I plan to use
it under Mandrake 6.0, 6.1, Redhat 5.2, 6.0 and Openlinux 2.3.
Also is there any easy way to add it to a boot diskette for use in installing
linux on a laptop, or cd challenged desktop.
Last question, anychance we will see support for the 2.0.xx kernels? I am
running 2.0.38 on my laptop at present due to its lack of resources:
486dx4-75, 16mb
TIA and Thank you!
