Archive-name: auto/comp.os.linux/97-patch1-available-on-nic

It seems all connections to Finland are down (or at least some server is
acting up), so patch1 is available only on nic.funet.fi:

	pub/OS/Linux/testing/Linus/linux-0.97.patch1.Z

I'll upload it to the other sites when I get a working ftp-connection.

Patch 1 is essentially a performance-release, but it also contains some
other patches: Ross Biro's tcp-ip stubs are there (but not the tcpip
subdirectory: alpha-testers should know where to find that), as are the
ext-fs superblock cleanups. The first header-file patch by hlu is also
in there.

The resulting patch is pretty big - it's also not as cleaned up as I'd
like it to be.  The swapping/buffer-block handling heuristics are
better, but could still do with some tuning.  Also, the idle task in
this version doesn't do very much: it will be expanded to do some more
page-table calculations. 

I will be unable to hack on linux for a couple of weeks (I'll still
answer mails, read the newsgroup and fix bugs, but no heavy-duty
hacking) due to some "circumstances beyond my control".  That probably
means that this patch is the last one for a while (three weeks) unless
some bad bugs show up.
