ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteJust found your website and like it, thank you for posting.
Question: If I would do an unisnstall of the kernel, do you have to do anything to get the previous kernel working again or does it 'just work?'
I suppose you'd need to reboot, but anything besides that?
thanks from a newbie.
