Is it the latest SNAP or how can I : get it ?! Yesterday I could dial into Net and saw, that -stable is a source tree ... Would it be possible / would it make sense to make a new Walnut Creek CD-Rom with the "current" "-stable" release for full installation ?!?! For me it would. I have problems with harddisk timeouts, sometimes the filesystem has strange directroy names with control characters ... I hope - as someone said - that the -stable kernel is really more stable and has done something good to the AHA-2940 driver. Yesterday I tried to get the newest 2.1.0 SNAPSHOT. During installation over Internet the installation process from the new boot floppy failed completeley, because the max. number of inodes was reached, so the ppp.conf file couldn't be written .... So 2.1.0-...-SNAP's network installation via ftp seems to be broken for me... I'd suggest to throw a more stable 2.0.5 onto market or to create a new SNAPshot based on -stable ...
