Yeah, we're up to 1.3.90 already!

The best way to do it is to back everything up (don't forget /etc/passwd
and /var/X11R6/lib/XF86Config etc.), wipe the partitions and install
an ELF distribution like Slackware 3.0 which includes gcc-2.7.0, which 
can "do ELF". The kernel supplied is 1.2.13-elf.

I did this, and have since moved up to 1.3.89 (1.3.90 tomorrow!) without
changing anything else (except procps-0.97 to 0.99 and installing 
modules-1.3.57).

Go for it. 

Mark.
