I've been running around upgrading some boxes to 6.2 from 4.11 using the directions in UPDATING. I noticed that in the 4.x to 5.x step it's basically mandatory to install the new bootloader: cd /sys/boot make STRIP= install I see no such notes in the 5.x to 6.x guide. Should I repeat this process? I figure having the latest bootloader should not cause problems, correct? Thanks, Charles
