That doesn't mean you can't play with it, though. Just pull it down and compile it. It's rather frustrating, but it's good practice, no? Who doesn't like compiling kernels on a 166MHz SPARC? ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge -f --oneshot gentoo-sources should get you the latest 2.6.15-r5. Tweak command line as needed for other versions. -- [email protected] mailing list
