I'm not sure it will be THAT big a deal. Most of the upgrades to software are required specifically for things like e2fs utils, etc -> things that require access to the kernel syscalls. I remember running redhat 6.2 with kernel 2.4pre1 (back in the day), and there was very little I needed to do to get it running for a full system.
Give it a try. If not, I think there's still patches for usermode linux on kernel 2.2.x... then you can have a virtual 2.2.x kernel to play with. Cheers, Liam On Mon, 2004-05-10 at 13:21, Roderick A.
