5.3 upgrade - fuse and ipw3945 unistall - Discuss

6 Apr 2009


      Fortunately I was starring at the screen during an upgrade and 'caught' 
the following set of messages.
It is hard to remember what I installed fuse for, I think for webdav.  
My system has a ipw3945 pci card, wireless is working.  Here are the 
messages:

Oh, dkms is installed and took quite a while to get past its startup, it 
seems to have been busy doing a lot of disk I/O on that 1st (and so far 
only) reboot after the upgrade....
Oh, 6 updates done, and 5 to go.  2 of those are very critical systems 
(DNS server and PPPoE gateway).
