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. > I have downloaded but not yet compile 2.4.13 which I believe is the latest. 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! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
