We run a mixed environment where some things work in 9, some in X. And even with X, some things need AFP not SMB. What I should and shouldn't need isn't of concern in my post -- I asked about the contents of the unsupported kernel.

You completely misunderstand the question -- trust me, I know how to install a kernel. :) The question is what *other* things are in unsupported, and are they stable. Sure, I can install the kernel -- but what happens to... I dunno, my 2940U2W card using the aic7xxx module. Does unsupported enable risky code? I've been unable to find a doc that indicates a comparison of normal to unsupported. Hence, I cannot tell if using it will effect normal operation for anything else.

I have been building public custom RPMS for it for over 5 years, thank you (feel free to Google). My need is 1.6.4a to maintain a CNID scheme with other servers, there is more than one Appletalk server onsite. Thanks for your holier-than-thou attitude, I love it! Keep 'em coming, maybe I can return the favour some day. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid Inc. | http://www.fluid.com
