Some kernel documentation I have written the past time.

Nothing really special, but here is the simplest place to keep it, especially
as others may need it too.

1 This is a list of the most important changes between 2.x versions. It is by
2 no means complete, listing only user-visible changes which are interesting.
3 The ultimate way to know what has changed is to run diff, or even neater,
4 ask CVS about it:
5
6   * Checkout the archive (see doc/cvs for how you can do this)
7   * Determine which tags are valid, by running this command from the
8     project root directory:
9       cvs status -v -l Makefile
10     Valid tags are usually like form V-2-1-0 for version 2.1.0
11   * Ask cvs for the difference between two versions:
12       cvs diff -r TAG1 -r TAG2 DIFF-OPTIONS
13     for example:
14       cvs diff -r V2-0-0 -r V2-0-1 -u
