Good Day,
I tried my first kernel compile today. Guided by Michael A Peters
http://216.22.163.20/Linux_Pages/kernel_build.shtml

As of today, the sleep support is now complete in bk _2_4_devel. It is
partial in _2_4.
There are a few missing bits in _2_4 mo

Hi everyone,
I just updated console-data from testing, and I followed the

able to boot off a rescue disk and everything is fine now, except for
one thing...

Hey, I like basic questions. The latest mol package on the maconlinux.org
website is 0.9.58, unless I go to the ftp site, where there is 0.9.59, but no
.60. Where else would it be?
