Thanks! I didn't think of the possibility of anyone distributing precompiled kernels from the "pre-rc" window, but if Fedora does it (hopefully for beta-testers only), it should be absolutely clear that it's not just a release with some minor fixes. Anyone adjusting any software for that kernel would be adjusting for the next kernel release. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
