Grant, I'm a little chicken so I rebuilt everything. This was probably 6 months ago when i did this. I think at the time I was unclear whether everything had to be rebuilt. IIRC I was told it was not necessary but I could be wrong about that. I just decided that logically everything would get rebuilt over time anyway so if a problem showed up later I might not know it was due to this or something else. With that in mind I rebuilt the machine. On this little XBox I'm building right now I haven't enable nptl. I don't know if that will be an issue or not. We'll see...
