I can remember my bug reports pretty well, even if I file them. Well I dont always.

Is there a specific reason > why you renamed it from kernel-patch-ctx? Lot of user requests. So I thought it was better to have it correct from the start instead of fixing that later. I also asked "upstream" how they wanted it to be named and they did not think -ctx was a good name as it has not been used for years. > > > bit of bad feeling in the stomach, even if it works for me since some > > > time.

I try to work on this a bit, also on the other compilation-issues. Sounds good. I will try to get a testing server up and running so I can test util-vserver development branch on some machine that is not for production use.
