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....)!
