So far I am running 2.4.19 because I need quota support for
ReiserFS. I'd really like to upgrade, but aside from

I cannot find any patches for 2.4.2x. Does anyone know where I can

I'm not saying that I think autodetection is a bad idea, just that I

Well, what do you want to do with your system? Install an OS on it, or
run an OS on it?

(hey, it's exciting for me) after running an old-assed verison of debian
since 1997 on my primary box. i've had a few annoying little problems,
most of which have been fixed. but that's not why i'm posting.

Hi, all,
At some point after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, xmcd stopped
working on my system. I get the following messages when I run it in
debug mode (whether as root or an ordinary user):

That's possibly an indication that this is a big stumbling block for certain
