I agree that normally that is the case. However, for whatever reason, the
jump from 2.6.33.2 to 2.6.33.3 does include some changes to the config.
By chance, I happen to have done some comparisons of the two configs
today. It appears that iSCSI is now built in, and not a module along
with some other debugging changes, I guess.

OT: FWIW, I would like to see more iSCSI support built into to Slackware.
For example, I would like the open-iscsi client and the iSCSI Enterprise
target software added. Both of those will be more and more important in
the future, IMO.

Is anyone still maintaining the modquotes?

Don't think so. Haven't see Faux Pseudo around these parts in a long
time... Anyone know what's become of him?

Moved on to other things, lost interest in the modquotes as not many
were downloading the packs he assembled. I did email him some time
ago to find out.
