Kernel update for FC1?

[Simon Weller]

It very much depends on the particular patch. Some are very easy, some
take a fair bit of time. 
Now that I've done the redhat 7.3 kernel packages, I plan to have redhat
9 specs patched tonight and left to rebuild during the early hours.

I apologize for the slowness, it's just time consuming and if I spend
any more time on it my wife will kill me ;-)
