Anyone got any idea where I could get a copy? psst. hey bud, you can still get it http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html > Cheers > Anton > ps why did they take it down?

It does actually make good policy to downline such install guides until you've confirmed that it's not going to break anything. Why? Here's the payoff matrix of online vs trouble online & trouble - Everybody installing thinks "what crack're they on?" online & no trouble - how things should be offline & trouble - Updated docs now reflect and resolve such issues offline & no trouble - annoy a few people The potential for damage, expecially reputational damage, is becoming of such issue these days that it makes sense to take it down for a few days. -- Paul Wilkins
