Obviously, but a specific code change. One in the kernel. If I'm not mistaken a syscall has changed, so if you'd attempt to upgrade your system without rebooting you'd get a message like ``invalid syscall'' while untarring. > the only way I know of is to 1) subscribe to the cvs changes > mailing list and read it.
