Building a kernel for your own box, and building one that has to work on as much hardware as possible is a completely different problem. Despite my best efforts, there are *still* always regressions when I push updates, but I do what I can to reduce that, by not rebasing if I know it's going to break a large subset of users. To use just one example, 2.6.15 needs a new udev, or synaptics touchpads stop working. Even though the 2.6.15 update in updates-testing works just fine for a majority of users, we can't ship that until all the pieces are in place. Dave
