The first time I rebuilt the kernel was "over the wire" - I did it on a machine colocated at our service provider, rebuilt everything, then rebooted - and prayed for a few minutes while I hoped SSH would come back up. It did and everything worked beautifully. I do it regularly now, trying to tweak out more performance, and the only time I've ever messed up was when I was upgrading from 3.X to 4.X, and took out something that specifically said 'don't take me out'. :-) SeanMike -- SeanMike Whipkey - "The Man.
