Hm, makes sense. As I said, stupid question :)

I am still using a 2.4 Kernel, too. So, I guess I'll just live with it 
for the time being. There's still a bunch of other stuff I'd like to get 
working, so I will be pretty busy anyway.

Thanks again, for all the hints, I am sure that wasn't the last issue I 
bugged you with.  ;)

Best,
