- Yes, the 2 weeks should hopefully be accurate: I really want 1.0 out
- before the end of the year, and 0.99 is meant to be just a quick final
- version to make sure there are no obvious bugs...
-
- I'll be making at least one more pl to 0.98 (mostly the tcp-ip fixes and
- some /proc goodies), and 0.99 will hopefully then contain the new SCSI
- code (and probably also the CD-rom fs). I'm also looking into loadable
- keymaps. We'll see.
