Hi, 

Slackware always shipped with kernel.org kernel sources and it's not
going to be different this time, i think. 

And looking at
http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/source/k
shows jfs-0.1.16 and  xfs-20020329.diff.patch.bz2 patches that are
currently being used but i think this might change before 8.1 ships... 

Only thing that is missing from slack is the ksymoops package.Currently
it does not build on 8.0 coz the bfd utils is missing some symbols.It
would be great if Pat would include  ksymoops for when the kernels oops.
How are we supposed to generate kernel bug reports? not that oopses on
slack happen often but still it would be nice to have it... 

Regards, 

Paul
