   Nice. After I replied to you, I did a little research on that. It looks   
   like Debian 'Sarge' was the one that gave the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel options.   
      
   Although I'm on like the 3.4 kernel nowadays, so I've left both in the   
   dust. :)

   Oh cool. It seems as though the few linux users that actually use Irex   
   these days don't know how to fix that issue. Maybe I can help pass on the   
   word, but they're probably so stuck on what they're using and against   
   fixing anything that it won't matter anyways. :)   
      
   I know this is probably old news, but was the developer ever asked for the   
   linux source code? I mean, it's so old, outdated, and hardly works.. I   
   couldn't see as to why he wouldn't give it up unless he lost it, which most   
   seem to do eventually when they abandon it for so long. :(
