You should | upgrade/reinstall 6-pr and go from there. You will have far fewer problems.
If it were not that I really respect your name.... ;) Anyway, I know about the fact that 4.11 is not gonna be supported. All my other systems are running 5.5-PRE and 6.1-PRE and you can see there is really no problem with updating all those even to -CURRENT... which I am not afraid to do. Simple question: How do I make 4.11 see the 4GB RAM? Best regards, Odhiambo Washington Systems Admin, Wananchi Online Ltd.
