- You can now specify whether you want the memory card filesystem to
be compiled into the kernel or as a module.

- New features in updated filesystem layer
- Improved ext2 filesystem corruption recovery code
- Better Samba support

- Tons of filesystem bug fixes
- Up-ported entire memory management layer from 2.2.1 to 2.2.20 [linux/mm/*]
- New features in updated memory management layer

- New features in updated sunrpc
- Additions to support nfsd
- Countless bug fixes that occurred between 2.2.1 and 2.2.20 (the bug
fix list is 8 pages long, so we won't re-list them here)
