Re: Kernel upgrade

[Stefan Wold <s wold wineasy se>]

Hi.

Nothing would stop you from doing that. It will work perfectly. I think
many people, that concerns about security, does it this way since having a
compiler on a server might be a stupid idea. So what they do then is to
compile the kernel and the modules on another machine. And in your case
it's even more simple since the machines are identical. So go ahead.
