Patchtool for Linux-kernel makes reboots not a must

a researcher at MIT has made software that makes it posible to update a kernel with rebooting the system

 

the program Ksplice can update the kernel via a patchfile in diff- format, the orignal kernel source coda and e the current config.1

after changing the kernel the system does not have to reboot .

 

KK your all thinkin wel thats linux wel the fonny thing is it also works on other systems as well!

 

Ksplice works with every 2.6.x-version of the linux , but is can be used for other Unix-systems as Solaris and BSD-distro's , because it uses the standard eleven -objectcode's for the linking of kernel module's

 

this could be good for us not? no more messing about in terminal , no more waiting and keping fingers crossed during boot.
