Hi, I have two questions for you regarding debian and kernels. What's the deal with the X.X.XXpreXX kernels as opposed to the X.X.XX kernels? Which one is more recent? How would I figure that out? (I'm looking at 2.2.19 and 2.2.19pre17) Do either of these kernels contain the patch against the local root exploit mentioned on slashdot on october 19 (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/19/141229&mode=thread)? How would I find out? Where should I get the patch? What is the debian way to apply such a patch (patch < my_patch.diff?)? Thanks, -ben -- Ben Hartshorne ...Discarding smoothly, as we disembark, ben@hartshorne.net All thoughts that held us wiser for a moment ben.hartshorne.net Up there, alone, in the impartial dark. -M.
