The .ko files have a Nov 3 2005 date, whereas the files in /boot 
including the kernel directory have a May 6 2006 date.  I take it that 
Nov 3 means 6.0-RELEASE since the announcement was done on Nov 4.  So, I 
guess I'm back to the question of how to do a binary upgrade from 6.0 to 
6.1 (and particularly where is this documented).  Should I attempt 
another sysinstall Upgrade?
