Ah, it's another Ron Stodden Special. Had Ron bothered to READ the archives before posting his latest instalment of self-important bile, he'd've seen the post that told us that the -BOOT kernel currently being used is the one from 9.1, and the new one will be introduced soon. And we could all have been saved from having to read more of his tripe. Pity. -- adamw
