Does the checkout script still work? The reason I ask is that i have a Makefile that makes it easier for me to download and compile a kernel. In the past, all I had to do was change the kernel version mumber (2.6.21 to 2.6.22 for example) and it would download the kernel code tar ball, uncompress it, create a symlink to it, and run the checkout script. I ran it today, I expected it tto fail when it ran the checkout script. I've pasted the output below. I don't hear anything that seems like an error message. # make wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.tar.bz2 -O /usr/src/download s/linux-2.6.22.tar.bz2 --13:15:22-- http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.tar.bz2 => `/usr/src/downloads/linux-2.6.22.tar.bz2' Resolving kernel.org... 204.152.191.5, 204.152.191.37 Connecting to kernel.org|204.152.191.5|:80... connected.
