2.6 is not for me at the moment, at least on my Sun box, due to the lack of user-friendly interfaces to compile a kernel that's quite new to me. (as I stated some messages ago, menuconfig and xconfig are a no-go in 2.6. (I wonder where the classic motif xconfig went, since it works in 2.4) :). For sure I can use make config or make oldconfig, but even if I have a sufficiently strong experience in compiling 2.2 and 2.4 kernels, I still feel a bit of fear with 2.6, especially because I have no working 2.4.x custom .config to start from, I'll try rc and see what happens. I used the stock unstable kernel, however, to compile 2.6 on ix86 successfully, so your assertion is valid. -- Antonello Iunco <etn at libero dot it> Cruising the Web on a (Modified) Debian-Powered Sun Ultra10
