You can find 2.4.15 on one of your friendly Kernel.org Mirrors (note the 2.4.15 Changelog) From the 2.5 readme: "Linux-2.5.0 is exactly the same as 2.4.15, except for a version number change." So, enjoy the The 2.5 Tree

  1. patch for XFree86 4.0.3 dri? by san · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is there a way to use a new(er) kernel with XFree86 4.0.3 DRI? It seems my mb agpgart (VIA KT266) is not supported by 2.4.7 but it may be by 2.4.14.

      So, finally Linux will incorporate Digital Rights Management?
      Interesting... it's GPL'd I suppose...
      However, is it possible to circumvent it by not using XFree? You seem to imply that

      (Note for the humor impaired: yeah I'm just joking. Go ahead and mod me offtopic, you know you need it! indulge yourself)

    Damn. Downloaded 2.4.14 over a 56K link yesterday... Well.Patches suck but..
    I suppose we realy need all those new kernels on 2 year old pcs?
    Most normal pcs don't need this at all.
    Unless you're a freak
