I got direct email about it. Then he said, he ports and uses dmsdos on 2.4. And I asked if he can port dmsdos to 2.5 or not. So, currently that patch is pending.
Witek, can you post a patch of dmsdos for 2.4? -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
