Yes, I have an ftp site. In fact, early on in the devfs releases I
stopped posting the patch and instead just pointed to the ftp
site. I've still been posting the MTRR patches because:

1) they're smaller
2) there have been less of them.

I think I receive far more than 100 kBytes of email per day on the
kernel list :-)

Thanks. Hopefully the MTRR patch will make it into the kernel, so I
won't need to post anything, even a pointer...

Regards,

Richard....
