Ahem. I only have the base system on that Ruffian (ACP 164 UX2). Where can I
get a 2.0.35 kernel image for that box? The RedHat image didn't work (RH's
Ruffian Image did not detect my SCSII controller. *ouch* all my hd's are
SCSII).
Got the initial kimg from gatekeeper. Any other pointers where I might find a
.35 one for my box?
