Are there any efforts to get 2.4.x to work on the 32-bit systems? Quite
honestly, it's a little disappointing to hear. I'd help if i knew anything
about kernel hacking. =)

Ahh... I'll track those down.

Hmm. Where is this documented, if anywhere? If i had known this about a

are problematic, and/or what the problems tend to be?
Many thanks!
