Yes Mikkel, been doing that for years, probably from about 2 weeks after I installed RH5.1 all those years ago. I tried the fedora kernel again as a test for something about 2 weeks ago, the test still failed and its scheduler is _still_ broken. Pauses as long as 5 seconds while it does something else. It got better early in the 2.6.26-rc series and has stayed good. I usually build and install it about as quick as I see the notice from Linus of a new -rcX patch on lkml. I wrote a couple of scripts to unpack and apply the patches and do the 'make oldconfig' (from the previous kernels .config), and another to do the build and install, leaving me with 2 minute session with vim to setup grub.conf and reboot. Simple, painless, & maintains my local configuration choices. Highly recommended by Dr. Gene. :) >Mikkel -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
