FC3T1 works nicely but:

[Jason Dravet]

FC3T1 seems stable for me.  Kernel is 2.6.7-1.494.  The system is mostly 
up-to-date as of 7-22 (no glibc-238 stuff).

Now for the few issues I have:

There still is no way to edit the gnome menus.

I am stuck using dial-up.  I can connect to my ISP once, then I have to 
reboot to connect again.  To connect to to my ISP I do /etc/ppp/ppp-on.  
Then I do /etc/ppp/ppp-off when I am done.  At this point I cannot reconnect 
until I reboot.  When I try to reconnect I see the following in 
/var/log/messages:

Jul 26 08:54:51 excalibur pppd[3664]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
Jul 26 08:54:51 excalibur pppd[3664]: Removed stale lock on ttyS4 (pid 3279)

Any ideas on why I cannot connect a second time?

I have notice the ncpfs has been deprecated.  Why?  I need this module.  Is 
there a replacement?

And finally how do compile a module?  I don't want to have to recompile the 
whole kernel.  I was able to do the following before the upgrade:
cp configs/kernel-2.6.7-i686 .config
make menuconfig
vi Makefile and remove custom from extraversion
make modules SUBDIRS=fs/ntfs
etc.

>From what I have read the SUBDIRS= option has been 'replaced' with O=.  So 
how should I compile my module.  I have been to ntfs-sourceforge.net but the 
only module they had was for the stock kernel that came with FC3T1, but the 
494 kernel.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Jason
