Kernel linux version is now 2.4.22.        The risky one -- U-Boot 20030910. Flash rom .image file. It takes a lot        courage to type OK to all the disclaimers that this process is totally        your own risk. Rolling blackouts are quite common these days since August       14th blackout. The updater is only 604430 bytes. I tryed for Xfree86        version 4.3 experimental, but couldn't get it. That's for later updates.              :Dennis              ...
