</I>My bank's site warned me about it, but they let it go through,
essentially saying, "If it doesn't work right it's not our fault." Same
thing when I used Chromium 11 and 12. But of course all worked just fine.

</I>I remember a kernel update for Mandriva broke things on some computers,
including mine, a few years ago. Badly, but I don't remember the details
now. Fortunately, Mandriva always left the old kernel intact, and I was
able to log on, remove the bad kernel and go on about my business. IIRC,
it took about a week for the Mandriva guys to fix the problem and issue
another update. I hope Mageia follows the same policy of retaining the
old kernel, just in case.
