What's the point in providing a briefly tested package of 2.4.0 when, by the time potato is out and burnt onto CDs, 2.4.x (where x > 0) will be available and people can compile their own kernel? The only reason for putting a 2.4.x kernel into potato is if you can easily put the infrastructure needed for 2.4.x into the Debian system. Supplying a pre-compiled kernel alone is pointless. -- Alisdair McDiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED]
