hi there,

i have a question regarding the behavior of compat.linux.osrelease. setting it
to 2.4.2 sets linuxulator into 2.4 kernel-emulation and 2.6.16 sets it into
2.6 kernel-emulation right?

but what happens when compat.linux.osrelease gets set to a different value?
ports/Updating entry 20071101 e.g. advises skype users to set
compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.20. does this trigger 2.6 kernel-emulation
because 2.4.20 > 2.4.2 or are there more than two kernel-emulation layers
inside the linuxulator??

cheers.
alex
