Sounds logical to me, but then I am a real novice to the whole "replacing
a kernel" thing.

As long as no one else here posts a message like "Don't do that.  It
leaves lint in various xyzzy configuration files" in the mean time, I'll
try it when I get back home this weekend.

If nothing else, it may give me an opportunity to copy & paste any error
messages to the List.

Cheers,

Carl
