Oh, KDE 2.0.1 was finished up before Christmas. Since then, I've done the
sendmail/procmail set, ghostscript, modutils, and now 2.2.18 and pcmcia
(getting ready to sync out).

Ah, good! You might also figure out if my cdutils build is bad or not.

though.

The Sparc port is going well, from what I hear. David's got it fully
installable, has most of the kernel bugs ironed out, and so forth. He's a
bit farther ahead on thing than I am :)

Oh, I was also going to build a kernel with the config file that you
posted about midway through December and throw that into the distribution.
Hopefully, we'll get things figured out to where such additional config
files are not necissary. But for now, that's what I'll have to do. If
you could make sure that file is up to date for 2.2.18 and tell me what
kind of machine it's designed for, it'll go into the demo disc and the
distribution, at least until we can get a truly generic kernel.
