PATCH 1/1 update kernel versions in documents

This is my first patch submission(to any project), please be gentle...

This patch updates the Linux kernel version number from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11 in several pieces of documentation. This is against xen-2.0-testing-src.tgz from about 2 or 3 days ago.

Affected files:

xen-2.0-testing/README
xen-2.0-testing/docs/src/user.tex
xen-2.0-testing/tools/vnet/doc/vnet-xend.txt

    to allocate for use by your initial XenLinux virtual machine. Note
    that Xen itself reserves about 32MB memory for internal use, which
    is not available for allocation to virtual machines.
    For <root-dev>, specify your usual root partition (e.g., /dev/hda1).

#1 lore raw

hi Andrew,

welcome to the list and the first ever patch ;-). here are some comments, though:

Quoted 10 lines · Andrew Thompson

This is my first patch submission(to any project), please be gentle...

This patch updates the Linux kernel version number from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11 in several pieces of documentation. This is against xen-2.0-testing-src.tgz from about 2 or 3 days ago.

Affected files:

xen-2.0-testing/README
xen-2.0-testing/docs/src/user.tex

i think that we are not sure which kernel version we are going to use for the next release (or we are ?), so perhaps now is not time for this patch to apply

Quoted 1 line

xen-2.0-testing/tools/vnet/doc/vnet-xend.txt

i think the above document only shows example on how to configure vnet, so the specific kernel version is not that important. thus it is safe to ignore this file when patching.

regards,
aq
