	No, I haven't, because I can't even make the box recognize the CD-ROM
as a bootable device. When I try to boot from it, it just goes "No operating
system installed". That's the problem: it's not that the kernel doesn't work,
but that the CD doesn't boot.

	Maybe I'm writing the CD in some wrong way. Does it need to be burnt
in any special way? I just used cdrecord plainly, but maybe I need to use some
special switch :-?

	I have no idea of what's that "Cajus' stuff" O:-) Where could I find
it?
