Another really good reason is that this is more likely to do the correct thing if you do a major system upgrade, like jumping from 4.x to 5.x, which are very likely to require different versions of the module, and discover some sort of problem when you boot the new kernel to test it before proceeding to the installworld step. The right thing should happen when you fall back to /boot/kernel.old, or /boot/kernel.itusedtowork, etc. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
