I just tried it -- my first experience with a Linux development kernel!

My ethernet doesn't appear to work. I have a 3Com 905B card and the DHCP request hangs. Works fine in 2.4.20. I searched LKML and others have had the problem. There were a few other little things that weren't quite right also, so I'm guessing that it will take some time to be truly ready. I'll keep trying it though.

--I just had my 1st experience with a development kernel running:

o Vmware Workstation 3.x running under Linux :)
oo Knoppix DVD-ISO Beta 2 (June release, Debian testing/unstable)
ooo Linus kernel 2.6.0-test4

--You can find my notes here:

--The biggest problem was the Knoppix INIT going into PANIC mode. Downgrading sysvinit pkg solved it.
