The major problem, I think, was to do with the creation of sym links.
Liable to leave links pointing at non-existent files under certain
circumstances. Particularly a problem for SUSE users I hear - YAST uses
the technique of creating sym links that is certain to break under this
kernel. This is why 2.4.11 is marked as 'dontuse', and why 2.4.12 came
out 2 days later.

Yes, this is the latest. I've been trying to download it from
ftp.au.kernel.org for a few days - anybody know if they've been having
problems lately? Connections seem to be so slow as to be unusable - 5
mins for an ls and so on, with the connection dying before I can start
downloading. Better to go with another site?

BTW Erik, I'm rather enjoying your SAMS C for Linux programming book at the
moment. Thanks for this book, good stuff!
