i agree with that what i like most in debian is the kernel-patch-<xxx> system, i regulary build freeswan, mppe enabled kernel and the 2.422 i am testing now give me loots of problems. i surely will prefer a separate kernel-patch-ipsec package an if not possible at least two patch files in the kernel 2.4.22 package, one with all the classical bits like bigmem etc.. and one other with the ipsec patch so we can desactive this one if needed. thanks -- OpenSides sprl Free Software Specialist Benoit Mortier - Linux Engineer
