Why is it that every Sunday night after Xfiles I end
up patching the LinuxPPC Ans stuff? :-)
I forgot to include a file in the lcd_patches.tgz
file. It should be fixed now, and I included a README, to
describe the contents of the files in the
ftp://hellfire.dusers.drexel.edu/pub/linuxppc/v2.2.4
and
ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/patches/ans/v2.2.4
directories...
