Date: 31 Oct 1995 04:41:29 GMT Organization: interQuest Online Services -- Huntsville, AL Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4749dp$j49@polo.iquest.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bacardi.gunters.org X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] What are the ramifications of taking a kernel compiled from a 2.0.5 installation, and installing it onto a box that was a 2.0R based install? Have the various libraries changed much between the two releases? What else besides the kernel would have to be copied from the 2.0.5 machine to the 2.0R machine? Or this just utter folly, and I should just do a proper 2.0.5 install? :) If you haven't already guessed, I want to upgrade a machine with as little disturbance to the current system as possible. -- Gunter Dougal | Zorak: "I am the Lone Locust of the Apocolypse!"
