Hi Kirk I tried patching a 2.6.10 kernel a week or so back with latest CVS, and had the same problem with mark/cut. Since I have some sight, I saw a lot of kernel symbol garbage, and a kernel panic.

Any volunteers to pick > up the 2.4.x maintenance? What has to be done to keep the 2.4 support maintained? - -- Luke Get my public GPG key here: http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCUxVXjVefwtBjIM4RAuIQAKCo76kNBrwvpXoazyFJ9yNyPwVJxQCgtHGK x1el+wYvPmu9Cs/K+Ov4B3o= =8eBs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
