Re: [ANNOUNCE] LKCD for 2.5.44 - full patch set (2002.10.23)

The latest set of patches are available on the LKCD web site.
We've corrected all (but one of) the issues with the patches that
Christoph reported. We've also put the latest lkcdutils RPM for
doing full dump testing (if you want). I've commented on all the
fixes in responses to the LKCD patch set thread. The only other
thing not corrected is the ioctl() addition, which we'd like to
keep unless we absolutely have to change it.

The LKCD patches and lkcdutils RPM can be downloaded from the web at:

http://lkcd.sourceforge.net/download/latest

Please E-mail me if you have any problems. Otherwise, I'm hoping
there's nothing else that needs to be done. Please put it in 2.5! :)
