2.6.39.4 kernel

I have compiled the 2.6.39.4 kernel, to use in what I have tentatively named "Racy Puppy".
These days, we have complete automation of patching and compiling the kernel and 3rd-party drivers, plus automatic generation of the kernel source SFS and kernel binary PET package.
I have uploaded everything needed to compile the 2.6.39.4 kernel:

...that site has a readme file that explains usage.
A question was asked recently about my web page that explains how to compiled the kernel, whether it was still relevant. No, it is very dated. I have edited it:

"Thank you of the 2.6.39.4 kernel. I have recompiled it for my quad core. Will build soon with woof puplet for using it. I enabled those which you had disabled, hyperthreading, automatic process group scheduling, etc...Otherwise about same. Vgaswithceroo I also left there. Maybe I test again, if it still freeze my ATI/Intel combo. Lets see if it behaves for me. I read your post why you disabled those options.
