It was probably done in 2.3.xx and backported, but yes, that does happen and it is a good thing. However, it was first done in the newer, development tree before it was ported into the current, stable kernel. I think the first half dozen 2.4 releases were really 2.3.xxx, anyway :-) -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
