Ah! That's a good reason.
I agree with Danny that "hackkernel" is a bad, bad name
On the topic of the update kernel and the kernel that Danny maintains,
also applies to the modified update kernel from Thomas.
Would you guys consider giving your kernels different names, just so
that we don't have to ask confused users "Which version of 2.4.21.0.18

I've been trying to find something on the lock-ups that occur in openoffice.org

Hi,

9.0?
I've looked in the changelog and couldn't find anything. Neither stock
2.4.18 nor the stock 2.4.19 version of linux/videodev.h include
linux/fs.h, whereas Mandrake's version of linux/videodev.h does.

RC3: Just before installing the bootloader, the installer got stuck in a
loop, it kept asking for installation cd 1, I put it in, it ejected it and
asked for it again. We argued like this for a while, I tried to put all 3
of the CDs in several times and I ended up having to hit cancel.

Utuhiro was having some trouble with the mailing list so he sent me this
message. Maybe I'll have more luck sending this to the list than he did.
I showed these fonts to my wife and asked her to rate them, she put kochi
gothic and kochi mincho at the top since the other fonts were cartoonish.
I am guessing this is similar to what utuhiro wrote in:

First of all, sorry for the heavy cross-posting, I'm just in over my head
here. May somebody more versed in font matters than I am please take over
this one. I'm running 8.1 beta4, upgraded to cooker tonight from sunet.

I'm running cooker, updated 1 hour ago.
I added Arial Unicode MS and Bitstream Cyberbit, among others, using
drakfont and I can use those fonts when I am not using antialiasing in KDE.
When I switch to AA in KDE, these fonts are not available.
