Well I got the kernel-image-2.2.10 debian package and the mac-patch
packages and am applying the patches then applying the kernel patch
2.2.11, 2.2.12 up through the current. I am also applying the 2.2.15
and 2.2.16 patches to the linux-mac68k CVS archive kernel. I am then
going to diff the resulting kernels and decide which looks correct from
there. After I have compiled using the config-2.2.10 as a start I will
test the resulting kernels on my assortment of Macs. If everything goes
OK I'll try to find an ftp site to allow others to test them. I could
put them up on my site, but I only have an IDSL link. I'll let the
lists know what the results are either way. Am shooting for completion
by late Saturday EST.
