Unless there have been CVS commits in the meantime to the kernel 2.4 branch, then they should be practically identical. My script is too dumb to realise this, however, and so creates a new tarball of 2.4.31 each week regardless. One of these days I'll probably start pruning out the stale versions there, but for the moment, there's plenty of space. I should also point out, that server is hosted on my ADSL connection, so you won't get wonderful download speeds. If you can, using rsync or CVS direct to ftp.linux-mips.org is preferrable over downloading off this server. ;-) -- ____ _ Stuart Longland (a.k.a Redhatter) / _ \ ___ ___ __| |__ __ __ Gentoo Linux/MIPS Cobalt and Docs - (_) \ / \ ; \(__ __)/ \ / \ Developer \ // O _| / /\ \ | | | /\ | /\ | / / \ /__| / \ \ | | | \/ | \/ | (___/ \____/|_; |_| \_/ \__/ \__/ http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter --------------enig83B0CE9E4A31CE94170490E4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDEGyUuarJ1mMmSrkRAjHrAJ9sqKn3j6KBbKhMr6TfK5C0B7QlQgCggAvG nJfysdqVV2DFNqHb/LE2BnY= =kGK3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig83B0CE9E4A31CE94170490E4--
