Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there. I know this is a astrange request, but can I use a 2.2.6 kernel ona 2.2.5 system? We are currently running a 2.2.5 system in the office as a dialup server (dial-on-demand for the rest of the office which are on '95), and are upgrading from standard modem to ISDN. BT has supplied all the kit, but I need to recompile a kernel to change the serial port settings. The original sysadmin never installed the sources for the kernel, and so I am stuck with a 2.2.5 system and 2.2.6 kernel sources. Upgrading is not an option since the office cannot afford that amount of downtime on this, the only connection to the internet they have. Can anyone help? (Please CC any replies to me personally) TIA, Aled Treharne, AIESEC UK. -- David Nunn Financial Co-ordinator AIESEC UK T: 0171 336 7939 F: 0171 336 7971 E: davidn@uk.aiesec.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
