Hm, we've been looking around, but we don't know which exact dir/kernel
you're refering too. No kernels looked like they were -ac kernels.

No plans to use LVM atm.

Hm. We're poor Debian people. I think "cooker" is what "sid" or
"unstable" is in our distribution, but browsing the web I only found RPM
mirrors, not SRPM's, and then, I see "kernel" and "kernel-linus"
packages. The latter I guess it's pristine Linus tree, and the first one
must be Mandrake's custom kernel, which I have no clue if it's based on
-ac or not.

I guess the "one -ac patch every two weeks" wasn't so good? Is it a big
pain for you?
