2.4.15-pre1 built ... and then OOPs'd then rebooted came back, and an hour or 
two later, ping, telnet, ftp, traceroute, ssh all decided to cause a "Memory 
Fault" on execution ... thus I thought networking were broke, but that 
Mozilla and licq worked.

I'm back on 2.4.13 now ... oh and I was wrong about the other broken kernel 
... I have a patch for 2.4.12 that fixes parport.c ... someone got a #define 
wrong and promptly broke the module so it would build.

2.4.15 /should/ in theory have fixed most of the problems as Linus is handing 
2.4 over, not to AC, but to Marcel (I think it was) to do the maintenance 
after 2.4.15's been released, so expect 2.5 to open in the not too distant 
future.
