What I would really really really like is a 0.1.2.2 kernel that expects
the network card to be on irq 5, so I can actually use my machine.  It
is very hard to do anything with my machine right now, since it crashes
under any sort of heavy load. (ie. compilation or untar over the
network).

Also:  How can I unpack the srcdist files?  I've tried

cat src* | compress -d | cpio -pcdumv

but this doesn't work...  (Of course, this was on an Ultrix 4.2 machine,
and I also tried this under solaris 2.1 (YUCK!))

Any advice?

Matthew
