Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I'll stick with my 2.4 kernels. But let me also refine the question a bit. Is there any reason to recompile the _same_ kernel in the newly upgraded environment, given that things like the C libraries and the compiler may have changed? Or if the kernel ran fine under woody, will it also be fine under sarge? Thanks. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
