Not sure about 2.7.2, but 2.95 is definitly usable - at least to compile code that has problems with later versions. I hope it will not be removed anytime soon. And 2.95 is ok to build both kernel 2.4 and 2.2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
