Oh, 7.0 is out now? What if I just dump the 2.4 headers and put in 2.2.16
headers, if they're even around? Oh, I can probably move them in from
zipspeak, because zipspeak uses kernel 2.2.16.

by looking at the rpm files provided. They're using 2.2.16 kernels, but
using kernel 2.4 headers? They're mixing versions. If you think your
sources are messed up, don't install this! Mixing versions of kernels is
going to give trouble, trouble you'll have a hard time getting out of. I'd
like to see someone compile a module with that. Either it wouldn't compile
at all, or it would be for the wrong kernel version. It makes me wonder if
they know what the heck they're doing, or if they're simply obsessed with
the latest and greatest! If they use 2.2.16 kernels, use those headers.
They sure aren't using 2.4 kernels, yet they use 2.4 headers? What's wrong
with this picture?
