Someone has to test it. Andrew already wastes some of his precious time for testing before releasing a -mm kernel, but this doesn't catch every compile error. If a -mm kernel doesn't compile for you, you can: - apply a patch if it is already available - fix it yourself - wait for the next -mm One of the purposes of -mm kernels is actually to find compile errors. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
