Just upgraded my Kernel using YOU and now I've got to go through the rigmarol of sorting out my nVidia drivers yet again... arrrgghhh. Now where did I put that howto and the nvidia instructions??? I hope I don't have to fetch a fresh set of drivers and can just re-install what I've just pulled down last month...

Um.. Why not? suse-security-announce a very low traffic list (not like RedHat which seems to have an update every other day even for the 7.x series), and it's always a good idea to get the security announcements so you can determine if it affects you and update if necessary..

Good point Trey and I guess it would not be a bad idea. I am usually very good at doing regular online updates or checking to see if new files have been made available, that I just never subsribed. I couldn't find this particular announcement on the announce list though from SuSE's site, so thought it best to ask.

Well, I attempted to forward the announcement that I got off the suse-announce list but as things would have it the SLE doesn't accept email over 20k and the announcement was over 20k.

Generally to prevent things like that :)

Smartass. ;) Sorry I didn't make up to the convention last week. I've been to damn busy to even think lately..but you prolly gleaned that from some of the incomprehensible email I've sent to the lists lately. *laugh* -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
