Hmm, is the kernel in "stable" going to change enough for this to be a big deal? I know that if you don't do "make world" in "current" you're likely to bomb big-time, but I thought "stable" was, well, stable, and the changes in the kernel would be like the changes from 2.0.36 to 2.0.37 Linux kernel, i.e. updates, some minor functionality fixes, but no big changes to existing functionality. I didn't do a "make world" because I didn't cvsup the world, I just cvsup'ed the kernel, due to lack of time, lack of bandwidth, and overcrowded cvsup servers. I will set a cvsup going this AM out of my crontab, I guess, and go ahead and update the rest of my "stable"... -- Eric Lee Green http://members.tripod.com/e_l_green mail: e_l_green@hotmail.com ^^^^^^^ Burdening Microsoft with SPAM!
