I have been running kernel 2.5x and kernel 2.6 test for a almost month, and I have not seen much instability. In fact, my NVidia drivers also work fine with it - and system response seems to somewhat better. Also, high disk activity (updatedb, etc) no longer brings the system to its knees :-). Of course, configuration and installation and patching of the new kernel can be a little tricky, and you will need to proceed carefully, and keep your old kernel as a backup (otherwise, you may end up with a unusable box.) It required new module tools, and I had to tweak some of the env. variables to get rpm working. If I get some time, I will put up a small doc on this at the site. -sdg- -- ********************************************* * The Ankur Project * Bringing Bangla to Free/Open Source Software * http://www.bengalinux.org/ * ********************************************* -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
