Re: boot-floppies kernel version
Hi,
Note that there is only one of 4 boot-floppy versions using kernel
2.4, the others use 2.2.20. Does 2.2.20 have working plip?
We likely won't be using a -pre kernel on boot-floppies, but there is
still some time before woody is released for 2.4.19 to have a chance.
You also have the option of changing the kernel yourself on the
installation disk, please see:
