Doh! I am starting at 2.1-stable (May 17th) and really want to get the damn Excite Search running on my WWW server, but I need 2.1.5 to run BSDI 2.0 binaries in a stable fasion (if at all). However, I have modified the /usr/src/ tree pretty heavily for security reasons and just really need to update the kernel. Is this possible? Thanks!
