No, although you normally would install the kernel prior to shutdown or simply "make kernel" to do both buildkernel and install kernel at once. The reason is that you want to make sure the new kernel boots up before you install the rest of the system so you can easily back off to kernel.old while you fix the problem with the kernel. If you installworld, backing off is nearly impossible. Not that this is any insight into the original problem. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
