Hanasaki meant to say bf2.4, aka 2.4 > kernel for boot floppies, I think. Exactly. The name was choosen because of following reasons: - it should contain 2.4 to be recognised as kernel 2.4.x - it should be short - since this string is used as separator in the kernel-image name, some letters were needed to "detach" it. Kernel package name like kernel-image-2.4.17-2.4_2.4.17-2... is nothing but ugly. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- "stupidity should be painful" (Neil C. Obremski)
