yeah...see updating the kernel through Software manager is a definate no..no. That's been a rule of thumb since 8.0 came out. Not quite sure why, but I know, as do you now too, that it does bad things. And yes, I did it too and didn't remember Civileme's warning about doing so until after I'd done it. By then it was too late. the deed had been done. the best way to handle the kernel updates is to just download the packages to your drive and do them that way. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.2beta1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3:05pm up 2:39, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.10, 0.05
