I then copy my old config over to the new kernel. After that, I don't run clean or mrproper again for that version. If I change something, I run menuconfig, make the change, run make all && make modules_install and then copy it over. I don't even want to try and count the number of times I've changed just one setting because some package needed it before it would update. Sometimes, I may change a kernel several times before I update to a new version.=20 I been doing this the same way ever since about 2003. As some know, if it would cause a problem, I should have found it by now, at least once.=20 ;-) Dale :-) :-)=20
