So, while it generally Yes. Herbert Xu includes a handful of patches, mostly hotfixes and backports from pre-patches. That may clash with Linus' prepatches, but external stuff like ext3 should work. Current kernel-patch-2.4.9-ext3fs works with vanila and Xu's sources. > Besides, since I'm not using the Debian kernel-source package or make-kpkg, > I don't see any reason to prefer the Debian ext3 patch package over the > original patch. Oh, in the patch-package I combined ext3-0.6.9 with the nice speedup patch from T.Y.Tso. And the patch-package for 2.2.x has been tidied up a bit ;) Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- -"640 K ought be enough" Bill G. , 1984 -"The Internet is not a primary goal for PC usage" Bill G. , 1995 -"Linux has no impact on Microsoft's strategy" Bill G. , 1999
