Any chance some kind soul can get me a recent kernel like that? I noticed
files for Alpha dated 25 nov 1998, but that would mean ftp-ing the complete
bindist and re-installing.

I rather build from the -current source using a 'known good' kernel. And 
subsequently upgrade the machine to the newly built -current.

Or is this unfeasible?
