SubjectRe: Kernel Upgrade
Your best bet: Make a backup of everything, and install slackware 3.1 or
something new. It would a major pain in the dumper to upgrade everything
to elf, and download all the new utilites you'd need. (i.e. libc, procps,
gcc, pppd, the list goes on and on and on and on.................)
