Yep, worked quite well with a corresponding version for 2.4.16. I
normally use kernel-package but in that instance did the manual make
menuconfigure dep bzImage modules (skipped modules_install and install,
however). I hit a few snags with usb-uhci and scsi, but I _believe_
those have been ironed out.

Yes, its requiring Python2 generated quite a bit of contention on lkml.
I don't see all the fuss, however -- most current distributions have
Python2 already.
