Hey folks,

I know I've read enuf times that 2.4 series are considered ancient and everything, but I really need to give it a try on 2.4.21. My question is, how come I cant seem to locate any snapshots between 2002 and 2005 ?

Did people of MTD went on long holiday ? :)

Closest one I've found was snapshot made on the 2005.3.4, but even that file is missing from the FTP server.

If anyone carries anything that is remotely similar to what Im doing, I'd love to give it a go.

Many thanks in advance.

People say the recent snapshot works with 2.4, may be with some tweaks.

Old snapshots may be fetched from CVS I suppose.

Ahhh.. do you think I could get some pointer in checking out older version from CVS ? I have no problem checking out latest, but my knowledge in CVS seems very limited at this stage. small quick tip would go a long way :)

Ex.: cvs -D 2002-04-22

See 'man cvs' for details.
