Correct, but that wasn't really what I was getting at. The point I was attempting to make was that there's no "roll back to previous kernel" option. It's straight from the "Oh shit" reaction to the "where's my recovery cd". I always prefer keeping one previous known good kernel. Either way, telecoms have special needs and if it's tightly controlled it hopefully won't be an issue. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775
