This is an experimental flavor which uses a special version of the kernel-image-2.4 package. It contains support for some new hardware parts which does not exist in the (more stable) other flavors. It supports more USB hardware, modern IDE controllers, newer network cards and Ext3 and Reiser filesystems. Compared to the driver set of our main kernel-image-2.4.x-yz packages, some non-essential drivers have been removed in order to keep the number of needed floppy disks in a sane range. If you have unexplainable problems with kernel 2.4, you should use other flavors. But be warned: if you replace this kernel after installation with one the standard kernel-image-2.2.* packages, you may not be able to reboot since most of the standard packages do not contain the necessary a IDE patch. If you need more new drivers or optimisations for you CPU type, feel free to install an "official" kernel-image-2.4.x-yz package. This flavor comes with one rescue floppy, one root and four driver floppies. See the file 'kernel-config' for the complete list of devices included in this flavor. See the top-level README.txt file for a description of what the files in this directory are for. To get a complete description of what files are required for various installation methods, see the Installation Manual.
