SubjectLinux 2.6.9-ac1
From
Date
For those who need the various patches and bits I've been doing. Also if
people have small, clearly correct fixes to real problems in 2.6.9 that
ought to go into a production 2.6.9 series kernel please mail me a copy
and I'll merge those so we don't get the 2.6.8.1 audio ripping mess
again.
