[SPARCbook] My Sparcbook3 adventure (Debian X config?) (long)

[Michael Schwarz]

Thanks!

I'm currently in the middle of dropping your kernel tar file into my 
Sparcbook.  I'm then going to reconfigure the X server and give it a try.  It 
looks like, provided I keep my old kernel intact, my worst-case scenario is 
to be right where I am.

I don't think I'll try to patch a current kernel, since I don't have the 
source for your patches.  Although I might change my mind if I have any 
troubles with your "drop-in" tar file!

I'll post when I know what happens.

Thanks to the whole list for chiming right in.
