I will first attempt to get the precompiled Lucent driver for 2.2.16 
working.

I can simply remember to boot with the larger kernel that has the driver 
built in when I plan to use the scsi scanner, zip drive or CD_burner or 
external hard disk.  Or is there some way to tell the compile to make just 
that one module, using the Makefile in the aic7xxx directory?

The links to the precompiled 2.2.16 one seem to work.  I will try that 
while waiting to hear about libg++ needed to compile for 2.4.31.
