Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.91.1i X-Disclaimer: A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT SMP Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi ! I'm getting into the demand to have a -STABLE system at home. Does somebody has made experiences if it would be possible, to run a -current kernel on top of stable installation ? I assume, that everything libkvm related breaks ... BTW, how is it possible, that the Linux folks seem to be able to switch kernels like hell ? Do they have the same problems or do they have something from which we could learn ?
