Linus said he wants to bring out 2.0.22 monday or tuesday. That might
very likely be the last 2.0.x kernel for some time.

Note that there might be more kernels in the 2.0.x series, because Linus also
said that he doesn't want to be the 2.0.22 (or so) kernel to be the "final"
one. Perhaps newer drivers and bugfixes etc. will be ported back from 2.1.x
to 2.0.x when they have become stable (nice idea IMO).

That said it would be a _great_ idea to make a new set of bootfloppies and
a kernel image, pcmcia and stuff with kernel 2.0.21. The 2.0.6 stuff
still gives me problems (and has been for months now) because a lot of
modules don't load.

Why not put 2.0.21 (or .22) in 1.1.11. There can always be a 1.1.12...

Oh I'll be happy to make the updated packages, though that will then
happen in the middle of next week. Just ask..

Mike.
