I did download the sources (Should I have done that?), but in the event it's not mandatory or anything to upgrade the kernel I'd really like to not have to recompile the thing. Related, however, if I do recompile it and decide to do so with genkernel, will it respect the settings I've compiled into 2.6.28 or will they need to be reset again before 2.6.29 is compiled? thanks for any information on the subject. ------=_NextPart_000_04F9_01C9E440.95FA79B0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
