[wuug-list] [wuug-forum] ezod: FUSE + Gentoo + Kernel 2.4

[Xavier Spriet]

If you want to try your luck, you can probably just edit the ebuild and
remove the 2.6 constraint check, and your package should be able to
install, but there's probably a good reason 2.6 was set as a requirement
for the package though.

It fails to mention here or in the changelog what the last version of the ebuild to support kernel 2.4 was. Google doesn't help much because apparently this is just a Gentoo thing, since FUSE's site proclaims "Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X".
