Hello!
A suggestion? Try it again. Oh and I just confirmed, the directory I
copied the items from was his testing one.

Interesting. You were exploring Slackware at the same time I was
playing with a fork of it. I suggest you go back to it, its evolved
again, and is now wearing a 2.6 family kernel as native.

It's even available for the big penguin, that's right a good friend is
also Slackware user and has ported it over to the S/390 family with
the blessings of the company, Slackware itself.

I'll watch this thread, since its more XEN oriented then Slackware
tagged since its only acting as a hosting entity for XEN, (or will be
RSN).
