I checked for that 'fudge swirl' kernel and/or patch and wasn't sure, so I
grabbed the file named 'patch-2.2.19.gz'. however, when i started to
compile it I noticed that there wasn't anything there for ReiserFS.
I've started trying to get 2.4.0 to compile because it supports Reiser,
however I keep running into trouble getting it do the modules when it gets
to the part with PCMCIA. thats just a matter of getting it configured
correctly. just takes patience. does anyone know if the security problems
found with 2.2.17 exist with 2.4.0?
