Re: Linux-2.4.1-pre11

[David D.W. Downey]

Hi Linus,
	Sorry to bother you. I'm trying to find where you uploaded
linux-2.4.1-pre11.

I was on ftp.kernel.org and ftp.us.kernel.org and could not find it in the
/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 or /pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/test-kernels/
directories. Is it somewhere different?

Also, Alan, I grabbed your patch-2.4.0-ac11.gz file from your directory on
ftp.kernel.org. Does this contain the updated VIA IDE support that Linus
was talking about in the 2.4.1-pre11?

I'm thinking either kernel.org hasn't posted the 2.4.1-pre11 or I totally
misunderstand the directory layout on kernel.org.

A URL to the right patch or, preferably, full source for 2.4.1-pre11 would
be great.

Thanks,

David D.W. Downey
