Nice. After I replied to you, I did a little research on that. It looks
like Debian 'Sarge' was the one that gave the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel options.
Although I'm on like the 3.4 kernel nowadays, so I've left both in the
dust. :)

Oh cool. It seems as though the few linux users that actually use Irex
these days don't know how to fix that issue. Maybe I can help pass on the
word, but they're probably so stuck on what they're using and against
fixing anything that it won't matter anyways. :)
I know this is probably old news, but was the developer ever asked for the
linux source code? I mean, it's so old, outdated, and hardly works.. I
couldn't see as to why he wouldn't give it up unless he lost it, which most
seem to do eventually when they abandon it for so long. :(
