Yeah, I know, but, IIUC, at least one update[1] is due to fix some RC bugs (and this is one of the main blockers for the release of etch Debian-Installer RC2). Hence, I thought that maybe this little patch could be applied to the new Linux kernel revision that must sooner or later migrate from unstable to testing... ;-) [1] from 2.6.18-7 to 2.6.18.dfsg.1-10, according to http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=linux-2.6 > nevertheless cherrypicking the important patch may qualify for > a stable release update. This would be suboptimal, since the Intel 965G graphics chipset would begin working out of the box (in etch) only once 4.0r1 is out. It's already hard to predict the etch release date, I really cannot imagine when the first etch release update will possibly be out! -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html Need to refresh your keyring in a piecewise fashion? .....................................................
