Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 06:14:06 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Thanks. It just struck me odd that the latest is 2.4.2 while the prepatches were 2.4.3 so I figured there must be something I missed in between (my logic told me that a 2.4.3 patch would be against a 2.4.3 something ;-). BTW, I haven't seen any announcements from Linus in this mailing list regarding new versions, just the updates on the web site and Alan's release notes saying he's merging with 2.4.3xx. Are those announcements being posted somewhere else now ? -----Original Message----- From: Leonid Mamtchenkov [mailto:leonid@francoudi.com] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 2:33 PM To: Hen, Shmulik Cc: 'LKML' Subject: Re: Q: How do I get from the latest stable kernel version to the late st prepatch version ? Hello Hen, Shmulik, Once you wrote about "Q: How do I get from the latest stable kernel version to the late st prepatch version ?": HS> According to http://www.kernel.org, the latest stable kernel version is HS> 2.4.2.

Download 2.4.2 and then apply 2.4.3-preX (latest) on it... that's it. You might want to visit http://kernelnewbies.org . They have some good docs there. -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov System Administrator - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
