These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity. 
It is configurable to any workload but the default ck patch is aimed at the 
desktop and cks is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

This includes all patches from 2.6.15.2 so use 2.6.15 as your base.

Apply to 2.6.15
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.15/2.6.15-ck2/patch-2.6.15-ck2.bz2

or server version
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/cks/patch-2.6.15-cks2.bz2

http://kernel.kolivas.org
all patches:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/
Split patches available.

*NOTE*
If you're looking for the 1GB lowmem option it has been replaced and you 
should choose the following in menuconfig for the same effect:
( ) 3G/1G user/kernel split
(X) 3G/1G user/kernel split (for full 1G low memory)
( ) 2G/2G user/kernel split
( ) 1G/3G user/kernel split


Changes
Added:
 +sched-staircase13.2_13.3.patch
Microoptimisations (thanks Andreas Mohr) and patch merge typofix.

 +vmsplit-config_options.patch
Added the variable memory split config option which is going to be part of 
mainline. This allows up to 3GB lowmem without enabling highmem depending on 
the split you choose.

CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ should only exist for x86_32

 +patch-2.6.15.1.bz2

When I have 1GB of memory, the option before was
clear.
What this now means, who knows... :-(
And there is no help for the options.

I'm sorry. This is the patch from mainline and it was already argued on the lk 
mailing list. This is what is in -mm and going into the vanilla kernel in the 
future. The help text does not come up in menuconfig I realise but that's why 
I pointed it out here.
