I've just completed a successful 2.2.6 upgrade. Actually, I wiped out my 2.2.5 slices and clean-installed 2.2.6 from CD. The CD install went fine except for configuring X. I couldn't do it via XF86Setup. I even disabled moused and tried it, but no luck. No real problem there, I could do it once I rebooted the system. When I did reboot, and restored my 2.2.5 files, I got a strange error trying to start user ppp from the start_if.tun0 file. It complained about not being able to find libdes. True enough, I did not install the DES package as I'm quite happy with MD5. I thought that ppp should start up no matter what encryption style I was using. After all, it had worked fine under 2.2.5. So, I started up /stand/sysinstall and added DES, and sure enough, ppp ran fine. Then I ran XF86Setup (after a fresh kernel recompile), and to my delight, it recognized my "wheel" IntelliMouse. I loved the new config options. That went smoothly. Then I started X. The new Xwrapper threw me off some, but I figured that out. What was really strange was xterm. Everytime I started up an xterm -ls, it never erased its entry from utmp. I tried recompiling X and using different WM, but no luck. These are the only odd things I've noticed in 2.2.6, so kudos to the Team. By the way, I love the improved Linux support.
