Generally you would use the latest release (currently 6.2) and then cvsup (csup) to RElENG_6. In some cases and possibly this one, when the hardware might be very recent, you might have to go even more bleeding edge and install the development branch to get some needed hardware support. That would currently be 7.0 and csup to the latest available. In general, you do not have to go backwards to match hardware compatibility. ////jerry > > Many thanks in advance, > > Best Regards, > > Antonio > > DISCLAIMER: > Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in this message is > privileged and confidential, and is intended only for the use of the > addressee(s) named above and others who have been specifically authorized to > receive it.
