I might be interested one day but when this day comes, it'll be far too
late for the 2.4.9-31 kernel. IIRC the problem with mppe is that for
some reason RedHat can not include it in their kernel. It is a licence
thing or an export problem, isn't it?
I have contributed the 2.4.9-31 RPMs and the goal was to have exactly
the same kernel like original RedHat 2.4.9-31 but with only XFS and kdb
included. Could you send me the .spec and patches anyway?
