well, spank my arse and call me charlie – stoopid me had not enabled 1284 modes for parallel port.

this is probably why my newly acquired laserjet printer doesn’t work via parallel (but fine, albeit slowly, via serial).

-ac2 should correct some problems tim was having with the tulip and emu10k1 modules. Well, at least the emu10k1 problems….

He’s also done a pretty good intro to kernel compiling (http://members.datafast.net.au/tmccoy/kernel_compile.html) along with the other easy-to-understand "How-To’s" that he’s put together.

So, here I wait for the kernel to build again…. dammit I want a faster box. Anyone willing to donate a nice new athlon?
