1)  By Friday, I'm hoping to having -current + KSE patch on my boxes
(money where mouth =3D=3D Good Thing(tm)).

2)  Is there any reason to _not_ submit a story on Slashdot, Maximum
BSD, Daemon News, BSD Today, etc...  I couldn't help but think the
exposure and extra testers that would come of this would be a bad thing. =
=20
Is there any documentation in terms of how some stranger could do this
(from a vanilla system)?  At any rate, post a link to the instructions in
the story and what more could you ask for?

	Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it'd be good exposure for
both Jullian's work (even though KSE's will be largely unused in 5.0) =20
and FreeBSD. -sc


	PS The submitted story would make it clear that this is -CURRENT
(not -STABLE) and would include all of the necessary
warnings/disclaimers.
