First off, I was going to upload to my Web/FTP site your older,
2.2.16-21.7.1 release with old Ext3 v0.0.2f (v1/full-data only mode)
that has worked flawlessly on all my older RedHat 6.2 systems (as
well as several of my collegues' RedHat 6.2 systems).

Secondly, I am in the middle of throwing together a "JFS Microscopic
HOWTO" ("Microscopic in the fact that it is RedHat-centric) with a
Ext3 v. ReiserFS v. XFS discussion (what can be used where,
etc...).  Having some updated, latest Ext3-enabled (is v0.0.6b still
the latest?) 2.2 kernel RPMs for RedHat 7.x would be great!

So, if you would like to upload them to my site, that would be
perfect!  I will give you an account which you can use SSH/SCP with,
and a "public_html" directory where you can put up Apache pages.  I
will also make the directory rsync'able to anyone who wants to
mirror it (since I only have a 256Kbps connection).
