- Linux kernel release 2.4.xx for the IA-64 Platform
- These are the release notes for Linux version 2.4 for IA-64
- platform. This document provides information specific to IA-64
- ONLY, to get additional information about the Linux kernel also
- read the original Linux README provided with the kernel.
