Re: woody kernel question
Just my two cents. You seem like a decently experienced user, but confused
about upgrading kernels. You don't *have* to run 2.4.18-pre9 like everyone
else is telling you to. 2.4.17 should be fine for your needs, and you can
upgrade to 2.4.18 later when it's actually released.
