Patch also includes all the other fixes to date that I know of
that are needed to get 2.1.31 to compile (and one for the new net-tools
release).
I did not include all the patches necessary to get it to work perfectly
because you linux-kernel participants are supposed to be working on
creating those patches instead of (a) posting off-topic messages (b)
posting off-topic messages about posting off-topic messages (c) posting
off-topic messages about posting off-topic messages about posting
off-topic messages ....
I am not a kernel hacker (yet ?), so it would make me most happy to be
able to link to a web page that addresses the question of learning how to
help with kernel development. If someone puts one up, please let me know
via private E-mail.
In addition, is there a TODO list of smallerish tasks that need doing in
the kernel?
May the fleas of 1000 camels infest the armpits of those who persist in
distractive threads :)
