2.4.16 is out and is stable on all accounts. 2.4.17pre2 is out as well, if you want to live on the (stable) bleeding edge. as for 2.4.15, dont forget to force fsck after you boot from it to a new kernel. otherwise you could get *silent* data corruption - not a nice thing by any stretch of the imagination. for more information on this bug, peruse this list's archives, the linux kernel mailing list archives, slashdot or any other linux news source of your liking. p.s. to fix 2.4.14 you have to remove two lines, not add. i know, i konw, nit picking. can't help it. -- mulix http://www.pointer.co.il/~mulix/ http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
