Charlie, thanks so much for the explanation of the whole procedure! I think I can do
it now even!
It's a bit intimidating, to be sure. I am pretty much committed to Linux at this
point, and Mdk is where its at I believe.
I am already running with devfsd-1,3.25-1.1mdk, which I upgraded a while back, will
that simplify things some?
I am dual booting w/Windows still (just makes me feel "safer"), but I hope to outgrow
that soon! When I make the move to Mdk9, I may just go all Mdk. I really have been
reverting back to MS very little the past while, and I feel quite good about that too.
;-)
Does my dual-boot present any special concerns for the kernel upgrade?
I have created a /tmp/kernel folder where I will download the necessary packages. I am
thankful that I don't have to download all of the ones that were listed! I will start
the process tonight.
No doubt I will be looking for your learned advice again.
All the best, and thank you again.
