Double-Oooops, sorry. I thought I'd replied to somebody directly. Won't
happen again. What I had been looking for was information from one of
the Irish Governmental sites as I'd be interested in finding out a
little more on this. Apologies once again.

Hi there. Is it to be considered dangerous to update my kernel from
2.6.8.2 to 2.6.11.x ?? Can I do this just by patching the kernel and
redoing the makeconfig, etc. I have no backup made of anything, so what
should I be thinking of backing up if I can do this?
