[jornada] Re: Plans for kernel 2.6 on J720

Hi Michael,

Using the mainline 2.6 kernel is much better, it would be wonderful
being able to build a Jornada 720 kernel directly from the kernel.org
source!

Thanks for all your effort on 2.4 series, and now on 2.6! You're the man!!

Regards,
Claudio Neves
