Well, I know it sounds silly, but I didn't know 1.6 has been released!
I'm very pleased!

I think I'll go ahead and run the 1.6 release! :)

I've reviewed the 1.5->1.6 changes and am impressed -- eg, I'd written my
own program to display information from the stat() call, and I see 1.6
includes a (prawlly better) user program to do this. Also I see the
ability to disable swap on shutdown, which had been an issue for me b/c
I'm using swap on raid.

This is exactly the type of thing I had been asking about.
While the source is very clean and well structured, I've had a heckuva
time figuring it all out.

Thanks very much for the simple information about 1.6 being released --
that has saved me a large effort.
