Well, Jeff, as part of my WORK at the moment, I need to test a few
things on pre release kernels !  So, while I could stick to release
kernels, it would probably cost me more than fooling around with the
NVIDIA installer.  

Get the picture ?  While YOU may have the luxury of using only the
release kernels, I need to test some of the latest and greatest stuff,
so I am using pre release kernels.  Its not that I want to, its what I
MUST do !
