Oct 17, 2006, 00:00 (0 Talkback[s])

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.1 kernel.

I will not be replying to this message with this patch, as it is too big to do so, sorry about that...

The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:
       git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
       www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,

greg k-h
