Subject: Mandrake Kernel Upgrading Questions..
I recently got a new laptop and decided to put Mandrake 8[1] on it and
give it a spin..

I must say that I am very impressed by it. It has a level of polish that
I've yet to see from any other distro.

Anyway, 2.4.3mdk whatever is a bit out of date for me, so I'm looking to
upgrade. I was wondering if there was a central repository of patches
that are used in the Mandrake kernels.. most notably the boot logo[2]
and the supermount patch[3].

I like to keep up on newer kernels, and I need IPSec, and Firewire, so a
more custom kernel is necesarry.

Thanks!

Sam

[2]: I dig no aestetics. Anyone who saw my last laptop could tell you
this.
[3]: http://www.geocities.com/alexismikhailov/supermount.html and it did
not patch cleanly. :(
