Hiya gang,
Looks like with the k_athlon kernel update, it's 54MB. On dialup, I might be able to get it all between the time I went to sleep and when I wake up. As for the kernel source, at 180MB +/-, there's just no way I can do it. If someone's willing, I think I can wrestle up a little cash to send for a CD-R with both updates on it. I don't have a checking account nor any kind of credit card, so I can't do the paypal thing, but my word is worth better than gold. When I give it, I keep it, no matter what the consequences. I know it's unorthadox, but it's literally the *only* way I can get this update. If someone's actually interested, email me, and we can work out whatever needs to be worked out. Thanks.

John, Not sure where you are getting the 180mb + file from, but it appears that all you need are the kernel-sources, about 34mb and the kernel itself, about 21mb. Total of about 55mb and probably a couple of hours on a good modem connection. I was hesitant at first to get such large files while on a modem when I first started Linux, but Bruce Marshall easily convinced me to give it a try. It wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it might be.
