An ugly problem is having to recompile a pile of other things just because of some update to a kernel, whether it's you that does the compiling, or someone pre-compiles it for you. Especially when it entails downloading whacking great megabytes of packages to deal with a few kilobytes of changes (presto notwithstanding). It always baffled me that with an open-source system, the updates weren't merely patches for you to apply the last version. And, even then, it really shouldn't be necessary to have to change a pile of other things unless the interface between them and the kernel changed. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
