more seriously, thanks to all the people making the ac kernel-variants. Just one more -silly?- question: it seems -for me at least- that some of the ac patches should be integrated in the kernel, why aren't they ? (I repeat that ANY 2.4.17 variant I compiled won't even boot ! I'm not talking

1. If you are lucky and have working RAID based on stock 2.2.x (for example RAID 0 :-) you should be able to upgrade to 2.2.14 without big hassle. So upgrade to RAID 0.90 in mainstream kernel posponed to 2.4 ... Thanks, I will do that as soon as possible. 2. RAID 0.90 need some

Ask Cox, not me :-) Since Cox is RedHat's employee it looks VERY weird to me that RedHat's kernel and official Cox's kernel are two such different beasts. 2.2.15 and the Red Hat kernel are two different things. They I suspect always will be. The things vendors want make it work now and the

All that is needed other than that is a standard way to interface to add this to rootmenu/toolbar that can be used to update _all_ window manager data from fvwm to enlightenment as well as kde/gnome. That's what I mean. *All* of them. What users (I think) would love to see is to have

An API to access either Gnome or KDE desktop strikes me as beyond the scope of the LSB. 1. How about *generic desktop API*. 2. If there is any reason for LSB, it is desktop. KDE is outside of any LSB work. Remember the main reason for the LSB is at least notionally commercial software.
