Upgrading in 13 easy steps.

1) make sure module-init-tools is installed
2) backup your old /etc/sorcery/local/kernel.config
3) remove the old kernel config to get defaults in place on cast
4) cast -c linux
5) say yes to reconfigure kernel.
6) change LATEST_2_4 or whatever to LATEST_2_6_TEST
7) unselect all the patches (or use cast -r -c linux)
8) twiddle with the options
9) finish the compile
10) say no to all the triggers that come up.
11) add an entry to /etc/lilo.conf if not been done yet:
image           = /boot/vmlinubz-2.6.0-test1
        label   = linux-2.6.0-t1
12) run lilo (even though the spell does this) if you did 11.
13) reboot

I know that 13 is an unlucky number, but it was by accident.

I got lots of help from zero from holding my hand on the details.

Please test (p4 sync it or wait for the tarballing)

Mine works but for some interrupt conficts that might be related to acpi
interfering with my 3c905b, and I'm using an nForce-based board.

Gotta run now.
