Re: Upgrading Mac-side kernel for BootX

[William C Brennan <brennan@netaxs.com>]

Thanks to everyone's help,  I successfully moved from 2.2.18pre21 to 2.2.19.
Not a big leap, admittedly, but this was more of a feasibility study 
than a real need.  Actually, it was a good thing I took this rather 
small step instead of a big one.

I don't current backup my Linux files (don't have my mass backup 
device configured yet).  Once I downloaded the new kernel and it's 
associated files and shutdown Linux, I realized that I was in a big 
heap of trouble if the new kernel didn't work... I believe I'd have 
to do an entire reinstall of the old kernel and everything else onto 
a clean disk, or something close.  Fortunately, all went well.

Next time, I'll only change kernels when all my data is safely backed up.

Thanks again guys.
