I just received delivery of a new R200 for use as a router.
Unfortunately, this also fails to install 4.2 release. However, I can
report that the latest snapshot works fine. (Where fine equals it
installs OK and I can ssh to it) I suspect I'm going to have to re-think
though, as I'm not sure I want to follow -current on a core router :-/
On the other hand, many people, especially the developers, seem to run
-current in production. Thus I put it to those who know: Running
-current on a core router: Sensible way to keep up with the latest
security fixes, or really dumb idea to run pre-release code on something
you want to be truly solid?
