I do still need to stop mgetty in order to use the line for an outgoing
PPP link. For the rest, the release seems to work OK for me.
I had to do the following to compile:
1) remove one of the two semicolons at the end of the only non-comment
line in .../drivers/sound/Config.in
2) add an include line in .../include/net/sock.h. This include file
uses symbol MAX_ADDR_LEN, which is defined in <linux/netdevice.h>, so I
added that include file to others that were already defined.
