right. But for SL4 with the latest kernel (-98.0.15), it's just DOS  
*if* vm.mmap_min_addr is set to, say, 4096. Which, unfortunately, is  
not the default. SL5 with SELinux *dis*abled is safe as well, but if  
SELinux is enforcing or permissive it's not, and nor is SL3.

If you have trouble getting all those kernels & modules & dependencies  
out today, could your try to do SL5 first, then SL3, and then SL4?

Thanks,
