It depends on how adept you are with making kernel debian packages. There are
source debs online for two morphix kernels, but as the kernel resides in the
morphix basemodule there is no easy way to install it directly. Anyone willing
is welcome to try though :)

In theory, yes. In practice, YMMV. You might bump against the non-existing
repository entry in 0.4-1. Quite a few forum threads have been dedicated to
this issue though...

(on the kernel issue, I'm open for suggestions)
