since way back around 2.5.60, i've been running the test kernel building
straight from a www.kernel.org tarball, and i've had pretty good success.
USB *seems* to be working fine for me -- USB mouse, zip drive, zaurus 
cradle.  so i'm sticking with the tarball.

and, like i mentioned, suddenly, it all works again.  weird.

p.s.  i'm currently on rpm-4.2.1-0.11.  is it worth rawhiding up
to ".30"??  would that solve any known bugs?

currently:

  severn beta level 1
  2.6.0-test5-bk10
