Hi there,
I am very proud to announce: (and also give me a small present for my b'day :)
WOLK v3.5 FINAL, Codename 'Fin' alias 'Birthday Release'
A lot of development has been done since the last version of WOLK, v3.4.
Also I am a kind of happy that this is the last release of the
"Working Overloaded Linux Kernel", because I don't have the time that WOLK
needs for further good development. I have a job, a girl friend, some friends
etc. so I depend on some people who will help me to manage this project
successfull.
I've asked a thousand times for help, got some offers, but never really get
that what they promised to do. The only real helping hands for patches was
Michael Gasperi, the only Co-Developer for my project, and Dominik Perpeet,
my "personal" C/C++ Guru ;). And 2 times Jure Pecar ... But 2-3 people are
definitively too less for managing this big project successfull.
Anyway, it was a nice time, having fun, a good kernel, many learning about
kernel internals. Thanks a lot to all those people around over the planet of
using WOLK.
Sorry, no OpenMosix and also no O(1) scheduler as I promised!
- Thanks Paul, Enrico!

or "/var/core/core.%h" to get all yor core files in /var/core
and have the hostname appended.

Uploading is in progress. All packages are ~ 250 MB (Megabyte). This
takes some time with 16kb/s upload speed to sf.net ;-(
Expect all files to be up at latest tomorrows morning !!
Have fun!
P.S.: Andrea: Consider removing/fixing inode-highmem-2.patch.
It's horribly slow ;)
