Could someone please fill me in on this "kernel 2.0.34"? I've now seen it
mentioned several times on this list, but I can't find it at my two usual
kernel sources (http://www.linuxhq.com and http://sunsite.unc.edu), and I
didn't even see it listed in the archives at ftp.funet.fi.
Could someone *please* tell me where to find it and what it
adds/fixes/modifys?
