With a 2.6.20 kernel everything is fine.  It was actually VERY smooth.
 Nice job.

Disk space is cheap.  I guess we could have a config file somewhere to
prune Unmanaged.  It would we worthwhile for packages other than the
kernel if the user really cares.  Kernel sources as a sep package
makes sense but should be included on the ISO.  Should also be in the
Typical profile as well.  This is linux and compiling out of tree
kernel modules isn't that odd.
