Not particularly many -- there were a couple of patches incorporated back in 19991124-1 and -2, but those are now incorporated upstream.

Correct -- 20000202 is pretty much unchanged from the upstream. As far as your problem goes -- what version of e2fstools did you use? Newer versions of mke2fs include extra information that older versions of the ext2 code can't read (which includes the OSKit code, Linux 2.0, the HURD, etc.) Let me know if you have any further questions, Ed Boraas (OSKit Debian maintainer)
