This sucks. Hopefully not only in my opinion. But, see, I don't agree with
you if you concentrate on 2.4.x kernels until 2.4.10 or better .15 is
released. I felt like on an horror trip when I saw potato released with
an prerelaese of a stable kernel. And please, don't use a 2.4.x kernel
for wood as the standard kernel-image.
But this thread's discussion ducks. It will point to nothing, if noone will
suggest a solution. What's about the kernel images to be pseudopackages
with special configs depending on patches and kernelsource to build a
kernel live when installing it?
so long...
