Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Patch set 2.4.19-pre3-jp8


Kernel patch set jp8 based on Linux kernel 2.4.19-pre3

What is it?

The -jp kernels are development kernels for testing purpose only.
They will appear regularly two or three times a month. Their purpose
is to provide a service for developers who can't keep up to date with
the latest kernel and patch versions, but want to test new features
and evaluate enhancements that are not to be expected for inclusion
into the mainstream 2.4 kernel.

You want to test the kernel patch set? Download the standard kernel 2.4.18,
and apply the jp8 set.

You are missing a patch? Patches will be added by request.

You run into problems? Send me a mail and I will try to fix the problem.
I want to get the jp kernels as much as stable I can.

You feel happy with a jp kernel? Just let me know if my work is good for you.

On my system I only use jp kernels. So, some minor features are specific
to Dell Inspiron laptops.
