That's not logical.  2.6.2 was "Feisty Dunnart", so 2.6.3 should have
a new name.

Okay, this one's the *most stupid* out of my stupid posts, but here goes:

How about choosing names from puppet names from different countries ?
Everyone likes to see something that relates to his country in international
projects, also there are people that wouldn't mind getting to know some
silly things about others.

Here in Poland, we have had a tv puppet show with a puppet dog called
"Pankracy". [prenounced: pan-krah-tzee]
He entertained the kids for some time, and now everyone remembers him
and has good memories of him. He was a joyful and innocent puppy.
I remember watching the show in 1980s. Vote on pankracy, he's really cool.
Plus: there are audio files with the theme from the show.

http://www.polskaludowa.com/dzwiek/nagrania/piatek_z_pankracym.mp3
(111 kB)

An International touch to the naming scheme. That's my example proposal.
What do you say?

Maciej

May I suggest ALF for americans, and Priscilla or Fofão for
brazilians ?

And Colargol for the french maybe...

I know getting someone, namely Linus, to review all the puppets characters
and backgrounds and fit them to the kernel would be silly to even try to.

Maybe it'd be best to throw a bunch of names into the spinning wheel and
choose randomly.

This is how Pankracy and his master looked like:

I bet some authors would agree to grant freely the licence to have the image
of their long forgotten creations distributed in the logo of a non-profit
project which is Linux.

btw. I am preparing a web page on the proposals, stay tuned.

Thats just my opinion. Although I might be younger than you.

I think this should be a 2.7 thing. Let's stick with funny
sounding animal names in 2.6 for backward compatibility.

That sounds reasonable, also this means we'd be better
prepared for 2.7 :-)

Anyway, there was an update:

I realize I'm late on this, but can I suggest Paddington Bear as a

Of course, the list is still open. And is only a set of suggestions
for the decision makers (Linus + guru friends). I'll keep updating
it till I get tired.

I added the UK section with your suggestions. So it's version
0.02b now.

I had thought it was 2.6.3-rc1 that had the name first.  Having checked I see 
I was wrong and new name was definitely called for.  Unless, of course, this 
is the 2.6 series name now.

Ext3 doesn't seem to compile without jbd support.

This is correct.

How did you manage to get a configuration with ext3 but without JBD?

I did not, and I did not try to do so.

There is only one menu-item to select for jbd, so there are only 2
possible configurations. Without jbd it doesn't compile, with jbd, it
compiles.

If you are going to make it work without jbd, you have to touch the
source.

The only visible option is for JBD debugging support.

- Please send the complete error message.
- Please send your .config .
- Which tool did you use to create you .config?
