I'd probably burn it onto a CD myself based on the latest -STABLE I was willing
to support.

I try my hardest not to customize anything in /usr/src.  If you do that, you're
on your own, bud.

You'll have run with a lower SECURELEVEL to install it.  But then, you'd have
to anyway.

C'mon, Brett, these last two objections are really stretching things.  Are you
looking for a solution, or are you just whinging?
