Y.W. bamunds.

But thanks should really go to cwizardone for opening this Thread.

Not to mention that my posts are generated by a simple-minded-and-fragile screen-scraper shell script that I posted in this Thread last year.

@kjhambrick,

Thank you for the kind words.

In the spirit of "credit where credit is due," and as I said in the first post in this thread, it was suggested by Monsieur Didier Spaier.

Grrrr... I've only just built .8 It's a good job I've got it scripted!

Right that's it! I'm doing this one and then I'm not doing another until at least next Sunday!

... but something's gone wrong: on the front page of kernel.org, and in its rss feed, there is only 3.18.100 at the moment
