But i have 2 kernels in / One is kernel, one is MERCURY. The modification date on 'kernel' is close to the one for MERCURY. WHich one does my system boot with, and which can be deleted? In /boot, the config files seem to show 'kernel' being booted. If so, why does MERCURY exist? jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org To Microsoft: "Your tyranny I was part of, is now cracking on every side.
