I have reinstalled this box from cdrom only a couple of time. because I usually use cvsup (and make world) to stay in sync (my cvs tree is at 194.184.65.3 , cvsup.masternet.it). I don't know too much (nothing !?) of kernel debugging, but I have learn surely in these years how survive in case of the most common problems with it (-current). Let's say I am learning how to become an hacker, but I do it very slowly, even if I am confident for the future :-) and so for the moment my function is still only "bug advisor" :-) Thanks for your kind reply.
