OK, so no one else has raised a warning, but traffic is slow on
Sundays. I guess I'm brave enough to try it. I'll make the copy and
see what happens.

No, they are both 2.6.8 or higher. Gentoo has been 2.6.8.1 for a
while. FC2 customized is now 2.6.9 + features. That part should be OK.
(I hope.)

Yep! OK, I'll give this a try and see what happens. the way I see it I need to:

1) Move /lib/modules out of the way
2) Copy over the 2.6.9 directory from FC2
3) Copy over the 2.6.9-FC2 kernel
4) Edit grub.conf
5) Reboot, as Fernando says, with finges crossed.

Wish I had some backups! ;-)
