April 17, 2011 — BarryK
I intend to use this in the next Wary. PET (29.6MB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/linux_kernel-2.6.32.38-w5.pet

Also the headers (719KB):

I have uploaded all of the sources, including a kernel SFS file:

"Barry, have you considered patching Wary's kernel with BFS? I have no idea, a patched 2.6.32 performed better than any other kernel on my end-of-q2-2010 netbook. I read that BFS should improve performance on single-core machines too, so it could be very useful.
