Hi Kristoffer, Can you help me please? As I understand several messages from L. C. R., the 5 in your kernel version (2.5.xxx) means that you're using experimental, under-debugged, unreliable source code. Did I get this right? If so, what advantages do you believe you'll get from this process? Are there some neat new features you'd lose by going to a stable (2.4.xxx) kernel? If you are hoping to gain some neat new features, perhaps all these questions might better be answered on a kernel development list, though as far as I can see the only thing you're developing is a headache. I just checked ftp.kernel.org. The latest 2.4 kernel, 2.4.21, is from June 13th. That's pretty darn new, and it's marked "stable" as opposed to the 2.5 directory whose README says it's for "development work." I haven't looked at or compared the change logs, and I'm far from sure I'd understand them... Please straighten me out; I'd like to gain a better insight into this process. Thanks very much, Lee _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
