Thank you. mv /lib/modules/2.0.29 /lib/modules/2.0.29.old did it. I think it ought to be in the README file, toghther with the other differences between the stable and unstable behaviour of the package. BTW: Why does the kernel compilation number don't get updated in the uname command ? $ uname -a Linux rakefet 2.0.29 #1 Sat Mar 7 19:54:49 UTC 1998 i586 unknown -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
