Sounds right to me. Separate, but related, question. Is it ok for us to do a bin-NMU'ish build of boot-floppies for ia64 so that we can move to a new kernel image on a woody point release? We would *really* like to get rid of the 2.4.17 bits in woody and replace them with a fresher 2.4 version that works on more ia64 systems and has been better tested... When we released woody, precious few ia64 systems were "in the wild" and we've learned a lot since then... Bdale
