 	Thank you .  I'll do so .  OK ,  That means at least the other LX will .
 	As it has 96MB ,  Now if I can just figure out what is causing that
 	memory to over heat .  No it's not for lack of air flow .

 	If I can get the other LX to install 2.98 I'll just swap the disks
 	around .  Thanks for the suggestion .

 	Very well understand .  Found the issue with the segfaults 'prelink'
 	I read the faq & processed the suggestions and no more segfault .
 	But ,  udev still fails .  I'm digging into why that is happening now .
 	There is nothing in the FAQ about udev failures or anything about udev
 	for that matter .

 	Get ready to be bored spitless !-) .  I am doing this for a friend and
 	the install had been quite slow compared even to an ultra I .
