The kernel is fine, but random packages are broken in public rawhide. If deps are missing from my ftpspace, just email me and let me know what is missing (I cant always keep up). >I'm running XFree86-4.2.0-6.1 and kernel-2.4.17-0.18 and it seems pretty >stable (Radeon Mobility M6).

I make very verbose changelogs to relieve myself from having to answer many people (10+ per day) asking what is new or changed that might affect them. Sorry I cannot give more specific information than that however. rpm -qp --changelog somefile.rpm Hope this helps. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
