My 2.4 kernels work with loop BL3 as 'read only file system'.  Where did I 
go wrong?  (See my configla.431 and others, for bzimagla.431 and others).

I want to install loop BL3 with 2.4 kernel and an orinoco card for someone 
with Win95 that she does not want to give up and that I am hesitant to 
shrink, on a 120MHz Compaq (with unknown amount of memory, no USB, and no 
CD-ROM drive).  Orinoco cards don't seem to work with 2.2. kernels, for 
two of us, on at least two laptops.  Hers may have the same problem and 
she lives out of town, and I want to be prepared with something expected 
to work on the first try.  20MB should be enough if I upx opera binary 
(from 14MB to 5.7MB) and add no other programs.  Un-upxed, opera 9.26 
takes up 16MB total.  Would it un-upx fast enough to be usable here?  I 
think I can delete the plugins directory (300K) and 323K of standard skin. 
I can even shorten english.lng by removing comments.  I can get it to 10MB 
total.

iwconfig can be used to specify WEP key.  Do internet cafes or public 
libraries usually require that?  The library here used to, but now you use 
library card number to sign up once instead.  She wants to use it for 
traveling.
