Sure. And keep that dusty 2.4.3 kernel around just in case you someday need to upgrade the firmware for your disk, and the (binary!) kernel module only works with that one. Don't forget the 2.4.15ac12 which is for your USB scanner, and also the 2.6.7-12 (Red Hat) which is the only one with the updater for the new SCSI controller. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
