Latest versions of kernel, other tools
Dear gurus,
I have an Indy which I set up back in May, running kernel version 2.2.1 (29th March 1999) . Hardhat Release 5.1 distribution.
I've just been looking around on ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/ for a newer version with no success. Can someone tell me where I should be looking for updates, and also whether there are any packages which I should also update? I seem to recall a message about binutils being significantly improved, is there anything else?
The latest version of the mailing list archive stops on July 25: if there have been any announcements after then, my memory has not been up to the job!
Regards
Pete

I think the current version is 2.2.12. There is also a 2.3, but I don't recall which revision. They are all available from the CVS archive. Use the tag "linux_2_2" to get a 2.2 tree. HTH

2.3.10 is latest in the archive, I'm working on upgrading to latest.
