- I suspected so, since I didn't have any problems warm rebooting from
- Chris's new bootables. Maybe this fix should go into the informal
- FAQ so people don't get frustrated when building new kernels? I know
- it took me several hours to track it down, and if I wasn't so stubborn,
- I probably would have given up.
-
- BTW, has anyone experimented with the ISO lower layers (TP4/CLNP)?
- I'm currently compiling them into the kernel, but it would be nice to
- know up front if there are any show-stoppers.
