To be clear, it doesn't allow you to simply replace a kernel, but to add a second one, and possibly, to start transferring over tasks to it. You can do much the same thing with user mode linux also. Again, not a kernel replacement in that sense, but something similar, sort of. -- Jim Richardson http://www.eskimo.com/~warlock RFC 882 put the dot in .com.
