I can use your 2.4.31 kernel to boot from scsi drive (on one computer 
only) and for camera downloads and 2.2.26 the rest of the time.  But is 
there any particular advantage to using a 750K 2.2.26 rather than your 
less-generalized 550K 2.4.31?  Does 2.2.26 take up less RAM or boot faster 
even when it is so much larger to start with?
