   Provided that you're running the GENERIC kernel distributed with the 
RELEASE, yes, it will be updated.
   I'd like to see a GENERIC-SMP kernel distributed with the release, so 
that people with multiprocessor machines can take advantage of kernel 
binary patches, but I don't know nearly enough about sysinstall to provide 
useful patches.  (Building an SMP version of the GENERIC kernel is easy, 
but making it an option in sysinstall is a different matter.)
