I figured as such.  ;-PPP  Plus you guys have more computing power
in-house for builds (which take me at least 6 hours using 3
different systems simultaneously ;-).

Of which, I'm vastly impressed with your Anaconda modification in
previous releases.  I'm currently running with 7.0.91 + XFS PR 0.10
on a half-dozen systems (plus various updates from Rawhide like KDE
2.1) -- including the one I'm writing this on.

I tried to do that and wasted a good ~30 hours total.  I just
couldn't get some patches to come through.

I also heard RedHat 7.1 comes with 2.4.2 instead of 2.4.3?  I cannot
get into RedHat nor my favorite mirror to confirm that yet.  Ack! 
The pains and time delay of being just a "regular user."  ;-PPP

Giving the end-user the option is always ideal -- even if it is just
dumping the alternate kernel in another directory that Anaconda
knows nothing about.

Thanx, and greatly appreciate it all your efforts.
