Steve,
   I'm hopelessly lost in a maze of twisty-turny passages that all look
alike. Kernels downloaded from kernel.org have varying degrees of
compilation success for me:

a) 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 compile correctly on gcc 2.96
b) 2.4.20 does not compile all modules correctly on gcc 2.96
c) 2.4.20 compiles on gcc 3.2x, but I think I cannot run it on a RH 7.3
system. I have to use RH 8.0.

   On my main machine, running RH 7.3 and the Planet flow, I've needed to
update my 1394 drivers to work on this Jack over 1394 stuff. Unfortunately,
the 1394 drivers are tested with 2.4.20 and not with 2.4.19. People tell me
to build them under 2.4.20, and then move them to the RH 7.3 system, but
then I have the gcc 2.96 vs. 3.2x issues.

   I'm hopelessly lost in a maze of......
