I have that turned on here to but I'm not going to put all my eggs in that one basket. I couldn't write a script anyway plus I only update kernels once in a blue moon anyway. I'm still running 2.6.23 right now. The new one is compiled and ready but I just haven't rebooted in a while. I was wondering about that system.map thing. It's been there a long while. I just redone my install and I only saved /boot, make.conf, world and a couple other files, plus my /home naturally. Dale :-) :-)
