I recommend using a user mode linux system if you want to test not-so-stable kernel versions/features it requires turning the userspace upside down in a way you don't want you don't want to reboot the whole pc to test a new kernel Otherwise you can configure your boot loader to show a menu with both your stable kernel and your test kernel. But be aware that uml can alter benchmark results. -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol see http://michaelblizek.homelinux.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
