In theory, kernel modules aren't dependent on kernel compile options, so it should work. However, theory is closer to practice in theory than in practice. It's liable to be safe, but not guaranteed. If you do it, make sure you save the old kernel so you can reboot to it and get the correct set of modules. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
