Good idea. Then update the kernel. That's not optional.
You might have to wait until Richard has spun a newer boot floppies lifimage.

Yes. USB works.

I'm using a C3000 at home now with 1600x1200 on PCI Vis-EG card.
I think the FX gfx that's built-into the B2600 isn't supported.
I was using serial console (minicom on an OB600) until PCI vis-EG
support was working - post 0.9.3 release.

Could you clarify?
it's not listed in the release errata.
