There are more recent builds (with security patches applied) that are in the security archives, or you can use make-kpkg to compile more recent kernel *versions* (see www.kernel.org for the current versions) from sources. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures. My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. *** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
