+These are the release notes for Linux version 2.4.  Read them carefully,
 as they tell you what this is all about, explain how to install the
 kernel, and what to do if something goes wrong. 
 
-Linux version 2.3 is a DEVELOPMENT kernel, and not intended for general
-public use.  Different releases may have various and sometimes severe
-bugs.  It is *strongly* recommended that you back up the previous kernel
-before installing any new 2.3.xx release.
-
-If you need to use a proven and stable Linux kernel, please use 2.0.38
-or 2.2.xx.  All features which will be in the 2.3.xx releases will be
-contained in 2.4.xx when the code base has stabilized again. 
-
-If you decide to use 2.3, it is recommended that you join the kernel mailing
-list.  To do this, e-mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org, and put in the body
-of the message "subscribe linux-kernel" or "subscribe linux-kernel-digest"
-for a daily digest of the mailing list (it is a high-traffic list.)

-However, please make sure you don't ask questions which are already answered
-in various files in the Documentation directory.  See DOCUMENTATION below.
