Kernel question

David,
Thank you again for the help, you've been great. I was able to mount
the mac partition and copy the new kernel in. I am now running on
2.4.22-2g. Now if I could just get FreeSwan to compile I would be a
happy camper.
Would you mind helping me out with the following questions regarding the
2.6.x kernel?
1. If I pull the precompiled file from ppckernels.org (when I can get the
site up), is it simply a matter of dropping it in my boot directory on
both the Mac and YDL side of the drive and I am done?
2. Does 2.6.x have PPTP VPN support built in?
3. Do you know of any issues running 2.6.x on an Old World Mac?
