kernel-mc README
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patchset is Horst Burkhardt's "mc" patchset. 
It is also the upstream for Adelie Linux' "easy-kernel". 

This patchset is designed for compatibility with all distributions, and 
is tuned for performance and memory consumption on all architectures. 

It integrates some of the patches from Gentoo Linux' "gentoo-sources" to 
leverage the bug-finding power of the Gentoo community.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the resulting kernel should be 
considered to be suitable under all loads and in all environments.
