[Context is hang when running find or du over a big chunk of disk.  Advice 
was new kernel.]

Is there a ready-to-go pile of Shark bits for current?  If so, where?  I 
didn't find a shark slot in sup.   ...

This looks like the best recipe to update from 1.6 to current.

Is that likely to work without much tinkering if I'm willing to let the 
machine do a lot of work?

I think I built a kernel correctly.  It boots, and ran a lot of disk activity 
without hanging.

But the network didn't work.   Will that all get better if I keep going and 
build/install a new userland.  Or will I be getting in deeper?   (Backing out 
of a new kernel is simple.  I've never tried backing out of a new userland.)

What's the schedule for 2.0?    Should I just wait a while and help with the 
official pre-release testing?
