SubjectRe: NEW! Linux Kernel Configuration Manager

Hello David & David, ( & my other brother david ? ;-)

Mr. Howells having not had the chance to see how much
of your patches are tied into 2.1.x, Is it feasable to
attempt to applie them against an 2.0.x kernel ? ( Or is
this just a pipe dream for right now ? )
