Subject: [PATCH] [TINY] Documentation/Changes for modules
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 11:49:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021220194900.GA19672@net-ronin.org> (raw)

hi all,

	I haven't been keeping track of 2.5.x series much, so I was
just relying on Documentation/Changes for the required list of stuff to
upgrade.  Here's a tiny patch for it to refer to module-init-tools.

	I'd appreciate feedback (and patch acceptance :).  Since I have
no idea what's new in module-init-tools vs modutils (other than it's
needed for 2.5.x), can someone look over the description to see what
else needs to be added?

	Thanks,

-- DN
Daniel
