[ANNOUNCE] Linux 2.5.34-ct1

From: Lightweight Patch Manager (patch@luckynet.dynu.com)
Date: Sat Sep 14 2002 - 11:48:19 EST


It's all about the new IDE code, some User Mode Linux, and keeping
things clean. I've had to punch out my Tekram fix, since the driver
seems to have messed up further in the meanwhile.

I'm especially interested in Alpha testers these days, so please try
it if you have your Alpha around.

For the sake of security our staff decided to put aside the ftp
server, so don't wonder why I'm releasing it via HTTP.
