Description delta407 2002-06-18 17:48:50 UTC 
Please make clear that gentoo-sources is heavily patched and far less tested
than vanilla-sources. A lot of people running gentoo-sources have had issues
that were fixed by moving back to vanilla-sources; perhaps a notice saying "if
you have kernel problems try vanilla-sources instead" would be in order.

Fixed this, put a warning in the 1.4 install guide.
