From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Horms Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 06:06:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Kdump documentation update for 2.6.20: kexec-tools update Message-Id: <20070112060618.GA17379@verge.net.au> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Vivek Goyal Cc: Mohan Kumar M , Andrew Morton , Nanhai Zou , Tony Luck , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, fastboot@lists.osdl.org, linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Hi, Mohan Kumar suggested making kexec-tools-testing.tar.gz a link to the latest version. I have done this and this patch updates the documentation accordingly. This patch requires the documentation patch update that Vivek Goyal has been circulating, and I believe is currently in mm. Feel free to fold it into that change if it makes things easier for anyone.
