Well, ChangeSet 1.900 just happens to be after, but I don't recall the exact changeset of the 2.4.18 merge. As for the other question, I forget the exact command (ask on the bk users list) bk each ChangeSet has a unique key with it, that does not change, so you can later find things based on the key. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
