According to the HOWTO on the yellowdoglinux.com website, the file
'vmlinux-2.4.4-1a' is available from the ftp server. I'll be a cooked goose
if I can find it, however, and I do not have the option to copy to a Mac OS
Standard vs. Extended -formatted disk. This would be simple if the HOWTO
page included a link to the correct file, or if the FTP site actually had
it.
