Re: [Xen-devel] Porting 2.6.2 linux kernel to XEN
I'm aware of 2.6.2's flaws and in many ways that's an advantage since I'm
running a tracing tool on that kernel. The more unsecure it is the more
exploits I can run on it. Porting that kernel tracing tool to 2.6.10 would
simply take too much time.
Once again any pointers or advice are greatly needed
