I don't have access to the system right now, but after the sysinstall I
looked at some of the files in /bin and saw that most had a date of May
6, 2006 (or thereabouts) so I assumed that meant the binary upgrade had
been successful. How can I verify that the actual kernel was upgraded?
Also, I haven't been able to locate much information about a binary
upgrade in the Handbook. The only reference was in the INSTALL.htm in
the release directory.
