At some point you will need to boot a new kernel, unless you intend to only ever run the new system in chroot. Whether you move straight to current (or long-term-stable), or take an intermediate step, there has still been an awful lot which has changed over the years. I've been bitten by a few things when upgrading my previous server (my desktops usually run current or -rc), so I hope that getting your final kernel .config will be a lot easier than I expect. Generally, going from kernel x.y.z to x.y+1.* is easy, it's when you go from y to y+4, or greater, that things can start to become more problematic. > > Enjoy the process! > > So far so good. :) > :) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
