Hi Sven, *.
I build this kernel just because i couldn't use the one from Cajus 
(Matrox on physical partition). It was build using a compiler gcc-port 
from Bastian Blank.

Again, this was only a testing kernel for me. I do not want to create 
another Debian site with kernel/utilities. I think the cd is useful and 
i thought publishing the kernel could also be useful for people with the 
same machine configuration.

I think my kernel is not neccessary any more. Sven's kernel are working 
perfectly and are built "Debian like", at least the one build from 
"2005-06-13" on.

Anyway i hope the cd is not useless.

Yours,
Harald
