Unfortunately I don't have the CVS disk (I don't have any disks come to think of it!) - So I've decided to do the following: Put the 2.1.7.1-RELEASE from the ftp site onto the machine, back it all up - and then either do the very nasty thing of just building the kernel (and praying), or if I'm feeling really brave try Doug's excellent advice - and remake the world... (The only downside with that is I'll need to be on site - as the machine doesn't have a remote console :-( Or, failing all of that - I'll try my hardest to get the system up to at least 2.2.2 (the same as we run in-house)...
