Hi Again, I'm still not in Sydney (I will be soon, but not soon enough for tomorrow's event). One reason is that I am currently chaned to the wheel, working on updating the 2.4.27 source package that will be used as the basis for the 2.4 kernel used on Sarge (well that is my plan anyway). At the same time I am also up dating the corresponding kernel-image package for i386. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2004/11/msg00450.html If anyone has a chance to look at and/or test the candidate packages that I have made available I would be most grateful. In particular I am looking for kernel-crash bugs that have patches but are not included in this package. Goodies: http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/ http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386-2.4.27/ Changes: http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-6_i386.changes http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386-2.4.27/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386_2.4.27-6_i386.changes N.B: for reasons that I won't go into because they are _tedious_ and _lame_ I am liable to update these packages without changing the version number, so please look at the dates for any changes. Current version is dated 26th November. -- Horms [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Kernel Team Member, amongst other things -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
