Well.. I'd move it in after the inital bug wave goes through. considerin
I'm running 2.2.0pre9 I don't think it really matters.

Being that I'm running with 64 I guess I didn't notice. But I have noticed
the kernel bloat. It's the way of things I suppose.

P166MMX 64megs none either. It might be smoother.. hard to say.

nod... I hope the 2.0.x series lives on more. The size is disturbing me.
I would like to see if it will run on a 486/66 w/ 32 megs. Anybody wanna
