Not quite. You can compile and run a new Linux kernel without reinstalling your system. Furthermore, you can switch back and forth between the old kernel and the new one at each reboot. Andreas was recommending a blind upgrade with a prayer that the bug be fixed, but you can also view this as a way to diagnose the problem, pretty much like one would do a binary search on Wine's CVS sources to find when a bug appeared. In your case, either the bug is still present in the latest kernel which then means you are not wasting your time trying to fix a bug that has already been fixed, or it is no longer present and then analyzing the differences between the two kernels may help you find what was wrong. Note: I'm running Wine a lot on my system and have never seen MemTotal change (with 2.4.17 and older kernels). -- Francois Gouget fgouget@free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- from some indian guy _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
