That and another night's sleep did it; once again I owe
you. Many thanks -- to you and to all here who helped me think!
After only about three days of pounding my electronic
head against the wall, I finally thought of the obvious -- not
bad for a man pushing seventy in dubious health!
I pointed a PC at rpm.pbone; searched F8 for
kernel-2.6.15; downloaded one; copied it to a thumb drive; copied
it from there to the EeePC; and ran rpm -Uvh against it.
That actually worked. Not immediately, nor after running
kudzu; so I rebooted -- and sure enough, then it did.Pirut
connected, and I'm in process of paring F8 down to EeePC size as
we speak.
And I just mailed the check to the credit card
that paid for the machine. Champagne is indicated.
