Re: glibc, libstdc++2.8 and the kernel



My understanding is that *if* you could compile a kernel (sources are
truly NOT ready yet), you could not then install it *safely*.  The
current bootrom does not have multi kernel support.  So, if you hose the
kernel somehow -- there is little means of safe recovery.
