Delinux (Slackware 7.1 based original) now has kernel 2.2.26 and their 
standard ide kernel has USB support (via modules of all sorts).  That 
would be easier than compiling my own, though it is 902K.  Only needed on 
rare occasions if we ever get a working USB camera and don't want to get a 
flash IDE adaptor.   Delinux ought to have matching modules in case we 
wanted to use ppp slhc parport etc. at the same time (to email or print 
photos).

Did you compile something smaller than this?

I don't want to have to get hold of kernel source.

For a digital camera with USB cable is it uhci or ohci?  I have no 
experience with USB except for one Windows scanner.
