:-) Of Course. But you know 2.0.30 and beyond is unchararistically more
unstable and locks up without any known cause.

Bear with me, as I don't do this often. I should apply
patch-2.0-ISS.test4 to a 2.0.29 kernel to get 2.0.29 ISS. Right?

Then apply the teardrop patch, then any others that may seem needed.
Don't I need to know if a patch can be applied to 2.0.29, if it is
labeled for a newer version and may not work right?

If I apply patch-2.0.30.gz to get 2.0.30, I already know 2.0.30 is bad.
Any reason you mentioned patch-2.0.30.gz, which is now called
pre-patch-2.0.30.gz

If patch-2.0.29-ISS. starts locking up, we'll know more data for the
debugging group.
