Be aware that some hardware is not yet supported in .deb packages for the 2.6 kernels. I have a Soyo VIA 686 mainboard that the lm-sensors modules for 2.4 includes the ddcmon module that is needed to read the CPU and system temp. The lmsensors modules in the 2.6 kernel-image package does not yet have this module. I've not yet tried a 2.6 kernel on this laptop as the Lucent modem folks have yet to release a .deb package for ltmodem on 2.6. So, I'm in wait and see mode. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
