BTW, do you know something about the history of the POP patches ? From which kernel tree they evolved and so on. I tried yesterday (quickly though) to isolate the pop 0.92 changes from the full of linuxppc_2_4_devel, and failed. I wrote to Tom Gall, who mostly ignored me, and the 0.9.2 patches are almost a year old now. Friendly, Sven Luther
