Alternatively, you could ftp to ftp.dialnet.net, cd to /pub/linux/kernel
and download linux-1.2.14.2-unofficial.tar.gz. As the title implies,
this is an unofficial kernel, but it does include most of the bug fixes
to 1.2.13 (all that I'm aware of that I have reason to believe are
reliable) as well as IP Tunneling code, IP aliasing code, updated network
card drivers, updated SCSI drivers, updated ppp code (ppp-2.2.0e), newer
kswap patch, quota support, ELF support, and a few miscellaneous other
things. You can get the pppd-2.2.0e binary from the same directory as
well. It is in a file with the quota binaries called
Updated-binaries-for-1.2.14.2.tar.gz. This kernel is hoped to be more
stable than 1.2.13, while at the same time having some increased
functionality and performance. If you decide to try it out, let me know
how things go as I am continuing to work on fixing any problems that may
come up in it.
