Re: kernel 2.2.2 newbie question
2.2.17 is not released yet, but you can get a "pre release" patch
ftp.kernel.org
/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan
i believe is the directory, in there is a directory called something
like 2.2.17pre and inside there are the patches, im running 2.2.17pre18
on 2 machines and it runs well sofar. at least pre20 is out tho.
