The Mandrake kernel is pretty heavily modified, anyway, so tracking stable Marcelo releases wouldn't be very necessary, especially when the options are waiting a matter of months or regressing to a worse kernel than we have currently. The kernel in 9.0 was a "2.4.19" with a bunch of 2.4.20-pre backports anyway, IIRC... -- adamw
