I'm not sure this is a valid test. Your test validates that you can change mirrors while using the same release tag without issue (which is absolutely 100% true). What I'm mainly describing is what happens when you change release tags without nuking /usr/src. Staying with one release tag and "reverting" to an earlier version number works fine. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
