The kernel has a direct interface to several programs, including ps, top, netstat, and others, and when the interface changes, you can't just build a new kernel, you have to build the entire world. Well, you can actually get away with rebuilding what breaks, though when you complain about things working wierdly, people will stop listening, because they know you aren't playing the game by the rules. They expect you're going to rebuild the world before you make a complaint. One other thing to note is that the interface between the kernel and the lkms is also very close, and if you upgrade your kernel without upgrading your lkms, and you load one, say goodnight, it's panic time. > > [pimp] Pimp?
