Instructions for installing Kernels.

[Stephen Dawes]

My point exactly, Bill has RPMS to eliminate the need for copying a kernel
over after the fact.  At least, that is how I understood it, based on what
Bill was telling me.  Meaning, that once the install is complete, everything
is up and running, or should I say Talking.

Bill, perhaps, you could clear the muddy water on this one.

Admittedly, I could be wrong, and if so, I apologize for any confusion I may
have caused the list.  On the other hand, if I understood Bill correctly,
the way in which I mentioned, would be a whole lot easier.
