This correlates well with what I see on my 686/pae machine. And, in fact, the upgrade did happen correctly. The problem was that in my memory. I recalled that the names of the files/symlinks, vmlinuz and initrd.img were changed to reflect the versions of their new contents. I think the naming was done differently, but now I know to use uname -v and string to get at what is really contained in the file. On reflection, the way it is being done now is better than what I remember, so I'll stick with the new reality ;-) Thanks for the new memories. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
