    here is another really important file that has been missed by the mandrake 10.0 community release. too bad too because i just downloaded it yesterday.

    i guess however it does give mandrake time to prepare for the proper release as there will be enough reasons now for people to want to upgrade to the standard retail release.

    will this kernel be available in cooker?

    You're only supposed to update the date on the copyright when you change something, otherwise it's fraud.

    Unless you're trying to imply that the Bible has changed in the last year.

    Also, "God" is not God's name. His name is YHVH or however you want to transliterate it. (That is, that's the name of the 'God' the Bible is talking about. The actual name of God may vary, check your local listings.)
