I cant support beta curses libraries. The code was changed so that the 
hardware cursor accurately reflected the position of the menu item. That is
vital to blind users

The md5sum one is also ok. The ISDN code in 2.2.19pre14 isnt certified or
intended to be

linux 2.2.19pre14 is marked as pre13, plus some config/other problems. (fwd)

Alan,
    See below for a list of problems with the linux
    2.2.19pre14 patch. The errors should be apparent.
     I have a Dell optiplex 333mhz Intel with a 9gig SCSI
     card.

A). The version of the linux 2.2.19pre14 on 2.2.18
    is compiling and saying it is pre13. Thus the
    make file has the wrong version.

B). After doing "make menuconfig". The textboxes
    displayed for the menu options "Processor family"
    and "Maximum Physical memory" are displayed
    incorrectly (half missing). 
    If I move the keyboard cursor arrow up and down
    for each of the above menus, then the display is
    redrawn with all of the missing menu options, color
    and graphics. Note: I have libcurses v5.0beta1 which
    didn't have problems in linux 2.2.19pre5 or earlier.


C). Errors during "make dep". 
    note: I have md5sum from textutils v1.22.
    If my config file will help here, I can send it.
