Right now I'm not so sure. Now, if you downloaded and installed it as if it were another package, you'd get a "You have to reboot" message. I guess it could be argued that that's better than nothing, but IMHO time spent moving it and dealing with the ramifications thereof would be better spent on auto-update and getting it solved permanent-like. -- Gary R.
