Hmm--looks like the *other* 'Daniel' on the list has a better answer,
at least with regard to testing. See the thread about the package
manager wanting to uninstall the kernel-packages--it came along
right about the same time.

I've goota find a way to differentiate
myself from that Daniel, for the sake of his reputation : ). His responses
are usually a lot more intelligent than mine.
