Thanks for the tip Tony. It turns out that the unofficial howto I refered
to yesterday matches our config very closely, so the method specified there
will hopefully do the trick. (We're just held up by a lack of floppy drive
in the system at the moment.)

If the 2.4.2 kernel came default with a distro (but I'm expecting not) I'd
be interested to know which one.

cheers,

Dave.
