The only issue I've ran into is installing on machines with only SCSI disks, who's controlers aren't supported by the speakup.s kernel. On Sat, Jun 23, 2007 at 07:28:41AM +0100, Gaijin wrote: > C.M.

No 300 million dollar unveiling event for this kernel, I'm afraid, but you're still supposed to think of this as the "happening of the century" (at least until the next kernel comes along). Oh, and this is another kernel in that great and venerable "BugFree(tm)" series of kernels. So be not afraid of bugs, but go out in the streets and deliver this message of joy to the masses. -- Linus Torvalds, on releasing 1.3.27
