I started with the 4-disc set from the installfest, then did 'urpmi
--auto-select'.  It seems that urpmi does not always leave things in
a consistent, usable state.

Kernel 2.6.3-7 is booting, but I only have source for 2.6.3-15.  The
build has been running several hours now (200MHz).  

When it's done, I'll try to get the winmodem working and make some
progress.  I'm currently in Las Vegas for 2 months and have lost my
high-speed connection <sigh>.
