Speaking of the kernel update, it looks like there may be abug in the post 
install scripts.  My understanding is that the update is supposed to update 
the links in the boot directory, and then set up a lilo entry to boot the old 
kernel.  The links are correctly updated to point at the new kernel files, 
but the new lilo entry that is set up does not point to the old kernel, it 
points tot he new kernel too.  This is bad, because if the install gets hosed 
for whatever reason, I can't boot into the old kernel.
