Good point IMO. But be damn sure not to have *anything* important on this PC. Development kernels *do* have bugs which can wipe out all of your data in a second...or trash your BIOS / HD / whatnot all-together. Thats why they are called "unstable".

Anyway, Me going to give it another try today. Wish me > luck :-) I can't speak for 2.5x kernels. When i did the update to 2.3 a year or two ago (needed a driver which wasn't in 2.2) the documentation was more than complete in telling you what versions of programs you need to run the kernel. I didn't have any problems getting it to work. You should consider subscribing to the Linux Kernel Mailinglist.
