Do i just compile a new kernal and use the old filesystem, or do i have to wipe out the 1.1.5.1 and do a fresh install on the partition? And if i did update to 2.0 now, how are the updates to 2.x handled later? Is it just a kernal recompile, or is there more to it? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Porter porter@chem.wiscc.edu Univ. of Wisconsin Chemistry Dept. 1101 University Ave. Madison, Wi 53706 -------------------------------------------------------------
