Re: [cobalt-users] Raq 550 patch question/concern

[brendan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Brian, I've bookmarked the sites you mentioned.

Do you recommend I install all the patches -including
RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C9_V-1.pkg which I believe might be unstable
according to some postings that I've come across? Which Kernel are you
running and for how long? (Just wondering how stable it is).

Thanks again,

Brendan
