Hi, Julian: Thanks for your response. Our existing products (which heavily changed = the kernel code) were developed based on the 4.5 kernel that's why we = need to stick with it for a short while. Is there anything I can learn on the tricks you mentioned in your email? = I am open to examine all possibilities.

Assuming it does, you may be able to run it straight away or at worst with just a couple of tweeks, but there are tricks you may not know about to avoid running new = hardware on old systems. >=20 >=20 > It has to be 4.5 for legacy reasons. why? explain this in detail. >=20 >=20 >=20 > Thanks >=20 > Thomas >=20 >=20 > No virus found in this outgoing message.
