In particular there are some configuration changes that work better in the newer releases. I wouldn't recommend 2.3.10 for anything right now. In fact, I will probably remove that tar image from the server the next time I visit. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
