It CAN be done although not recommended. Read the WHOLE of /usr/src/UPDATING before trying out your experiment. And make sure you have 0 day backups before starting. I have done it on my PC just for fun but there would be performance issues as 5.* works with UFS2 whereas 4.* works on UFS. MY personal opinion is there would be performance degrades after the update. Regards S. -- Subhro Sankha Kar School of Information Technology Block AQ-13/1 Sector V ZIP 700091 India
