    Please read the above again if you are even thinking
    about jumping to 2.4.

    And from Tim's README:

    This is no joke.  If you make a mistake while you are
    burning the ROM, you will turn your Cobalt box into a
    cute blue heat generator.  And our support dept will be
    really unpleasant about issuing RMA's for systems that
    are dead because someone blew an unsupported ROM upgrade
    process.

    Still, if you are desperate for 2.4, things should work
    out.  If you live in CA, make sure that there are no
    blackouts planned, and burn baby burn.
