You mean DKMS? It saves the time of one reboot. In order to compile the drivers for a fresh kernel you have to be booted into that kernel. One reboot after install. You compile the GA drivers and the *best* way to insure that they are installed and used properly is to reboot again. Log-out - login is supposed to work but sometimes it does not. So your path is two reboots. Withe DKMS you update your kernel and reboot. DKMS builds the modules and inserts them. Linux starts. One reboot. Your choice. -- David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
