I've never visited 5.x land before, and I'm a bit warry. I've got a Compaq N410C that's pretty happy in 4 STABLE land, and has a Linux partition. I'm considering blowing away the Linux partition, and replaceing it with 5.1 CURRENT. Any issues (loader etc all) I should know about here? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
