I don't have access to the system right now, but after the sysinstall I looked at some of the files in /bin and saw that most had a date of May 6, 2006 (or thereabouts) so I assumed that meant the binary upgrade had been successful. How can I verify that the actual kernel was upgraded? Also, I haven't been able to locate much information about a binary upgrade in the Handbook. The only reference was in the INSTALL.htm in the release directory. Joe
