And what if Knopper decides not to produce a knoppix
version for some time or if he does not want to
include a particular version or what if he does not
upload the kernel debs because he doesn't have time(
as seems to be the case lately) or maybe someone wants
to add(say bootsplash) or remove things from a kernel?
 I don't disagree with you, nevertheless kernel
replacement should be documented so IF someone wants
this option he can do it. 
At the moment it's a reel pain in the b*t. 
Kernel compiling beeing the easy part. 


Anyway me 2c
