Hi all, last night my dial up machine finally finished downloading all the upgrades from a standard 3.3 installation. Surprisingly, one of the upgrades was a new 2.4.29 kernel-image from the mepis repository...!?!?!
A little scared, I decided since the kernel-image was from Mepis.org to let it overwrite the existing image and do its recompilation of modules etc... After a reboot, it was a success - nothing broken etc... but no noticeable differences. So: 1. Does anyone one know what's in this new kernel? 2. Should I have let it overwrite the existing image? 3. This is great news for future upgrades surely, if MEPIS now includes apt.mepis.org in the sources for kernel updates - it means it's possible to get newly patched/modded custome MEPIS kernels from apt-get upgrade rather than downloaded the new ISO of the latest MEPIS purely to get the new kernel! Someone tell me if I'm right or wrong here! (and will there be a new 2.6.10 with a fix for my serial_cs.o modem problem + others?) Surely, this ought to be an announcement on the mepis.org site too! Comments please. Rob. _______________________________________________ Dev-mepis mailing list [email protected] http://mepis.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-mepis_mepis.org
