Right - I neglected to put in the mergemaster -p step before 
installworld and deleteold/mergemaster ones afterwards... but anyway, 
the  main point I wanted to highlight was world/kernel dependence, which 
fortunately was made clearly enough!

I typically update sources on my 7.0 box about 1-2 times per week, so 
I'm religiously following the procedure in UPDATING...  the reboot to 
single user mode means I have to walk to the other end of the house 
(where the 2 noisy servers hide out) to perform the 
mergmaster/installworld bits, so it is not too much of an issue (the 
thinking being better inconvenient and functional than fast and broken....)!

Cheers

Mark
