I'm glad too. I've had to do the reverse: cherry-pick through 2000 patches from distro kernel source packages, to find the good ones for my kernel - bug fixes, driver fixes. It took a long time, and I had to give up before finishing, it was simply too much work. That was 2.4, back when distros did a lot of their own patches, kept outside the mainline kernel. Thankfully, the 2.6 process is much better. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
