	I'd first off like to thank *EVERYONE* for mentioning my COMPLETELY
incorrect statement that I was trying to build the kernel.  I, indeed, was 
trying to re-compile THE ENTIRE RELEASE.

	Then what is a "make" trying to do?  Also, according to the 
instructions , isn't my /usr mounted Read Only?  And, while I'm re-building
everything if I decide to do something else, won't my includes be 
incorrect with the version installed? I guess I really never ran into
this since Linux on my PC took an hour or so and I've put 30 into
this and only have about 490 .o's in libc. (NOT blaming the OS, just the
3/50 and possibly Linux NFS).

	I am trying to go from what is in the tarballs to what is currently
SUP'd.  Which buyes me more stability, Kernel or rest of the system? If I
put a new kernel in with the rest of the tarball stuff, will I be better
off than the reverse.  Or can I? (Sometimes if you aren't in sync they don't
play so well)
