    To whom is dealing with this,

    I found an error in the documentation of my debian version of linux
    2.4.27-2-386. Whist wishing to upgrade to the newest stable kernel
    2.6.8, I
    was following strict instructions as it is my first time. Followed
    this
    section under

    Current Minimal Requirements
    ============================

    Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've
    encountered a bug! If you're unsure what version you're currently
    running, the suggested command should tell you.

    Again, keep in mind that this list assumes you are already
    functionally running a Linux 2.4 kernel. Also, not all tools are
    necessary on all systems; obviously, if you don't have any PCMCIA (PC
    Card) hardware, for example, you probably needn't concern yourself
    with pcmcia-cs.

    o Gnu C 2.95.3 # gcc --version
    o Gnu make 3.79.1 # make --version
    o binutils 2.12 # ld -v
    o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version
    o module-init-tools 0.9.10 # depmod -V
    o e2fsprogs 1.29 # tune2fs
    o jfsutils 1.1.3 # fsck.jfs -V
    o reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 # reiserfsck -V 2>&1|
    grep reiserfsprogs
    o xfsprogs 2.6.0 # xfs_db -V

    And as I am actually using ReiserFS went to see which version I have.
    Currently the latest version 3.6.19, and have checked under unstable
    and
    testing and this is the most current version not 3.6.3 as stated in the
    documentation.

    Is only a minor error, but one never-the-less. Will stop people
    looking
    around for something that is not there like I have done.

    Many Thanks and Good Luck with the project.
