To follow-up on this bug: All the modification to the boot-floppies which was required have been applied. The kernel patch issues are not and cannot be addressed by the boot-floppies group. To comply with the GPL licensing of the kernel, I explicitly need to keep away from providing kernel patched with source which is not also available in Debian. Therefore, you have two choices: (a) get the kernel-patch package merged with the stock sources, if the kernel source maintainer agrees (and he's very conservative!), or (b) have a kernel-patch package for your patch included into potato, and hopefully provide us with kernel-images in packaged format also (if possible). I hope you understand our position... -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
