That would pretty much do it.

I'll take that as a tentative no. ;)

Still plenty of room for everyone else! Maybe someone wants a few more
buildds? ;)

I'm getting it down to a repeatable art form, if not a science. Right

to use the right set of patches for the right kernel. It's certainly not
an elegant procedure. :)
