moin, moin, catching up in some seldom travelled mailboxen... Last week debian released 2.2r3, e.g. the 3rd update to 'potato'. I don't think this would quite be the same as a point release for other dists, but it almost is :). Security fixes can be installed regardless of dist updates by adding the following line to your sources.list: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free Another piece of mail gave the URL[1] to a page with info on how to get 2.4.x including reiserfs working on a 'potato' box. ciao, der.hans [1] http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Aligo.com # kill telnet, long live ssh - der.hans ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 00:43:00 +0200 From: Martin Schulze Reply-To: Martin Schulze To: Debian Announcements Subject: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 released Resent-Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 15:44:08 -0700 Resent-From: debian-announce@lists.debian.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 released press@debian.org April 17, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The third revision of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (nickname `potato') has been released.
