That is my next step. I'm getting tired of typing all of this stuff in. I make too many transpositons. I have typed my name on numerous occasions "Knet". I can see moving OPAL to "kenrel" and wondering why it would not boot. They installed a processor on an IBM where I used to work and it was called Knet. I was concerned for about 300ms when I walked by the shelves with all of the greenbar paper with Knet on them :). Just so people don't get concerned with the subject. The current cvsup of 4.1-RC Stable at 1810 GMT works just fine.
