Well, sort of. I had dumped vmlinux into the "root level" of the
system folder, forgetting I was using BootX 1.1.1. Your reply woke me
up. Moved vmlinux into the Linux Kernels folder (even though the
BootX docs indicated that either location should have worked) and
everything installed flawlessly, including 3-button mouse. Thanks for
another excellent distribution. BTW, does YDL's vmlinux = Ben H.'s
Linux Final?
