Re: hurry up already with official 2.4

Hi.
I had too needed the 2.4.x kernel for installing a server. I had to download 
boot-floppies, and roll my own kernel/boot floppies. This worked excellent 
for me!

I don't think 2.4.x should be default kernel in Woody, but I do think one 
should be able to download and use ready to go 2.4.x boot floppies, if one so 
desires.

Thus why don't you help make a woody 2.4.x boot-floppy release, build 
bootable iso images and so on. That would help the situation.
