Has anyone on the list experience in setting up this beast? I know it
can be done, I have found several -conficting- howto's on the subject. I
know I am almost there, but I still have a few problems.
I am running SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4.17 - part of the problem is these
various howto's tell you to apply patches that were later incorporated
into the kernel.
Here's my /var/log/messages:
