It sounds like there is going to be a code freeze as soon as the last few problems get sorted (the biggie is when it decides to leave 17MB free and use 17MB swap on a 32MB machine :-) Yes - it does have PnP in it.

unstable and/or 2.1.xx kernels
Hi, I need to use some spiffy timing patches from: http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/utime/ in order to increase the temporal granularity of our linux system. (We are running some hardware and would like to improve the real-time characteristics a bit.) These patches are against kernel 2.1.43 so I'll have to try out the unstable kernels. I checked out the stuff on: http://www.linuxhq.com/pgmup21.html and it looks like I will have to use packages out of the debian/unstable tree so I need some advice. I'll be doing this on a non-critical computer so I can take some risks. Should I just upgrade the 5-6 packages needed for the new kernel? Or should I just point dselect at the unstable tree and upgrade everything? What pitfalls should I expect with the unstable tree? thanks, Stuart -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
