Though upgrading the kernel seems like a very big deal, sometimes it's actually safer than other packages. 2.6.29 doesn't require newer packages, so you don't actually need to backport it. And if you get in trouble you can always boot 2.6.26 instead. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
