It wouldn't be potato anymore, it wouldn't be woody either, why not call the interm release 'Stinky' after 'Stinky Pete' from Toy Story 2? Sounds like a good plan. Going to the 2.4 kernel is NOT going to be just a compile and go, there are several things that have to change (fstab, init.d , etc) that should be built into the distro. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
