Will:

Thanks for the suggestion.  Since Jim (nicman@newsguy.com) and I are =
experiencing exactly the same issue "X problems with Apple's new (667 or =
800)MHz Powerbook" and he had no success with the new kernel I'll safely =
assume that his results are applicable to me.  I believe Jim has much more =
experience troubleshooting Linux than myself.
I will keep my attention to Jim's posts so that you do not need to respond =
to the same issue twice.  I appreciate your assistance.  I know once a =
solution is found I will have to inquire with either yourself or Jim how =
to configure it correctly.  Thanks.
