I suggest to do it the other way around:
.if ${LINUX_OSRELEASE} =3D=3D "2.4.2"
IGNORE
.endif
This way the current default is to ignore and anyone who plays around =20
can do so. It also allows us to use any 2.6.x number we want (in case =20
we think another one is more appropriate) without the need to change =20
the port. WE just want to protect the innocent, everyone else is =20
allowed to shot into their own foot.
Bye,
Alexander.
