I like the idea. > I am thinking a best deal at time is to put it in cooker contrib. > Anyway, this kernel should be packaged soon to begin testing and report bug to > kernel team. Not just bug reporting to the Kernel team, but bug reporting to Mandrake. There are certain timing problems in various programs that are triggered by the new scheduler in Linux 2.6.x. Someone on the Kernel list has found the bug for gnome-terminal. Xosview needs a fix (output from /proc has changed). The biggest problem for me is the screen-saver password lock (doesn't let me in!). > A very good idea is to package it as it, without any patch. Probably OK for now, so that we can report the bugs. I imagine 2.6 will not be ready in time for Mandrake 9.2. But Mandrake 9.2 should be ready for Linux 2.6.x. Ed-T.
