Hi!


I'm trying to set up a uclibc hardened system and the only profile i
have is for a 2.4 kernel. There is the hardened sources which is a 2.6
kernel so why there isn't a 2.6 profile?


Thanks for your replies

unlike the default-linux and standard hardened profiles we felt it
unneeded to force a 2.6 sub profile or we did not wish to have to
maintain twice as many profiles. Also all the last releases
were for all 2.4.x kernels. upgrading to 2.6.x is easy as -pie 
however.. Just update headers, uclibc, kernel and modules.
Then go update everything else where needed.
