My is 2.95.3. No, this is fine. I would be more suspicious about your kernel sources. 2.4.4 is *way* old and I don't think anyone would still use it, considering the impressive number of fixes that have been merged since. I'd suggest you update your kernel. 2.4.18 seems to be a clever choice. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
