Regarding point 1: I don't know how it's with Debian but with Fedora I have to reboot myself to start using the new kernel. IMHO this is the correct way to handle new kernel installs. I don't know the relative speed of debian kernel updates compared to ftp.kernel.org but I suspect ftp.kernel.org to be faster. But generally speaking I don't think it makes a big difference.
Regarding point 2: If the source is on your system, you should be able to build a 'personalized' kernel. -- servies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39436 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
