I have withrawn the 2.6.12-5.99.sarge2 packages, and the URL above now only has the 2.6.12-5.99.sarge1 variant. The reason for this is, despite the build dependancy, they were actually built with kernel-package 8.135.sarge1, so they are identical to the 2.6.12-5.99.sarge1 packages. Furthermore, I have been advised by Andres Salomon and Sven Luther that kernel-package 8.135 cannot build these packages because because of incompatibility with the defconfig target - I don't know more than that. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
