Just a remainder for debian users. There is a debian package gcc272 which
is said to be the "GNU C compiler's C part", for "backword compatibility
purposes". I recompiled my kernel after an

Recently, I posted a request here to send your .config files and I
received a good number of them. (thanks!).
Now I want to generate even more different configurations, and a random
.config generator would be ideal. If I write a program which randomly
outputs "y", "m" and "n" and pipe its output

Hi all,
I started running 2.4.6-pre3 using the same configuration file as 2.4.5.
Diff shows no effective differences between two config files.

do_softirq is listed in System.map-2.4.6-pre3.

This does _not_ work for international kernel patch. They assume the
