Yeah, yeah, I noticed last night (I have "finger @kernel.org" in my 
.bashrc), but my weekly bandwidth allocation (40 hours @ 56kbps) means I may 
not be able to download it till Monday - a couple of failed attempts at 
getting the last OpenOffice consumed that...

But I guess I have no excuse for not doing an update now? :o)

Yes, it does. In the future, the "linux" spell will be the one that actually 
builds a kernel. The others are just patches to your kernel source. eg, if 
you want preempt and xfs, you would cast linux-xfs and linux-preempt before 
casting linux.

See, I *have* been working on my section! :o)
