Actually the Xbox has a Celeron 733MHz processor.  According to  
Wikipedia - "Custom 733 MHz Intel Pentium III-based Mobile Celeron" so  
I guess a precompiled binary for the 686 should work... but anyway,  
most binaries are compiled for the 386 processor anyway?

Naturally I'm having great difficulties in locating an 0.20.2 deb  
binary - but can easily find 0.20, or 0.21, or even 0.20.2 in  
different architectures which keep raising my hopes unnecessarily...

Looks like the time's here to convince the SWMBO to upgrade the whole  
lot.  Not looking forward to that....

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated!
