I think that table listed does answer the question.  The questions that
I have are:
   1.) 	what kernel (custom vs. generic) is being used by those that 
	seem to have gotten it working

   2.)	If you build a kernel _elsewhere_, does the K6 configuration
	run ok?  I.e., if I build a kernel for an apache webserver
	using my K5 and then install that on a K6 system, will it work?
	(& how stable is it?)

   3.)	Does anybody have any clues as to what excatly is dieing in the 
	"make world" process?

	 be working on...)
