Yes, please do. I, for one, would be interested in seeing how you did
this. Also interesting to me is how you got xorg and the 2.6.9 kernel
installed. I'm certainly not new to Linux, as I've used one version or
another exclusively for the last 7 years but my experience with Debian
(and it's derivatives) has been very minimal due, unfortunately, to the
way I was treated on the Debian-Users list. I find the Ubuntu community,
on the other hand, to be refreshingly helpful and friendly.

TIA,
Myles
