As to the glitch you mentioned later: Please don't forget that the code, or parts of it, that you have on your machine now is sort of highly beta: The kernel folks say something like this themselves. You can read it via the links on top of <http://www.kernel.org/>, to the left of the links that lead to the kernel sources, patches etc. ... E.g. 2.6.12-rc2 is a prepatch, and the explanation for what this is reads like this on <http://www.kernel.org/patchtypes/pre.html>: Excerpt: "Prepatches may be poorly tested, and may in fact not work at all. Use on your own risk; if you use one and run into a problem please see Reporting Linux Kernel Bugs on the front page. Prepatches with -rc in the name are considered release candidates and may become full versions. It is therefore particularly important that those get tested." As mentioned above: More information on the various patches is available on the kernel.org page .. > > I would like to thank all who made this possible. > > Tamas > > Thanks for the feedback :) Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
