find out??
linux-kernel
I've downloaded the patch.. taken a look at it.. but noticed that
some of
the files related to Cpufreq is _out_of_date_ ??? I had one file that is
dated Aug 28, but the one included in the -pac patch is dated Jan.
<bero(a)arklinux.org> is your man.
BTW, how can I find out what patches were included in the -pac patch?
Is
there a list that says something like --> -pac1 (contained patches for
swsusp, supermount, cpufreq, etc..etc..)
well, there is no official list. But I am going to send you one, more
or less accurate.
