Does this work in 2.4.26/31? I just downloaded and looked at the man page and it says:

Bugs
Requires Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or later.

Not to be snarky or nothing, but wouldn't it be easier to try to run it to find out if it works on 2.4.x?

And given that Curega is quite handy at this DSL thing, I doubt he would package up a non-working app for us.

Not to be snarky, either, but I prefer to ask questions first since I'm on a hard drive install. Regardless of extension packager.

I must be getting half blind. Truly sorry about this.
It indeed does not run on DSL. Please take it down.
Or, if you would, move it to DSL-N section..

edit: It will work with tiny core also, so it's not completely vain either, hopefully.

Moved to DSL-N < http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....testing >
