I (and most other people I suspect) would disagree there. If it's just the fact that you'll have to reboot a live server to load the new kernel, then I can almost understand that (it really won't take the machine out of service more than a minute or two though), but if you keep the old kernel around (which you _always_ should), you can easily boot from that if the new one doesn't work for any reason. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
