It seems that by default, Kernel 2.4.18 is being built and yet everyone 
seems to be advising to downgrade to 2.4.17.  I personally think that as 
you go to release 1.0, we should have instructions for building the latest 
*stable* release of the kernel rather than grabbing the latest experimental 
kernel (or whatever y'all call 2.4.18)...athough I am not so sure about:

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-source/linux-sources-2.4.17.rc5.ebuild 
merge

...as a cmd to document in install instructs.  Maybe a better option is to 
roll up the first four commands from Code Listing 24 (First code listing of 
"Installing the Kernel and Sys logger") into a script that queries the 
directories under sys-kernel and prompts user to pick which version to ebuild.

Any thoughts?

Michael
