Blown away Suse, it was not able to build the system & /proc. Must be too old of a
system bios. But I have a copy of E-W 3.11 from Calera, a Blast from the past, and
built it with a too high of X11 video settings, redoing now with a minimal and noe
X11. do not need X11 as we only have 40 meg of mem, w/ 2 g HD. Let you all know
more when finished.
