no, i'm not running michael's kernel because i've spent the last 
days/weeks figuring out (no, that was more the part of tim kelly -- 
thanks, tim!) why -current didn't run on my G4 and G3 since early 
october last year... now we know that it's an MCHK issue which gets 
(re)solved when highly optimizing the kernel (altivec, mcpu/mtune, and 
O3).

furthermore, i don't have michael's X sets installed -- didn't he pull 
up his patches into -current yet?
