Ok just small 'Conflict' warnings:

Even thought, SymlinkProgram seems Ok, I re-run it:

So I still have to learn: why conflict and how to fix?

That said new Scripts help me to install the new kernel 2.6.20.7:

Reboot: fine.

Next steps:
	1/ Compile Linux (I already use with success 2.6.21.4 on my debian)
	2/ Build a kernel with my own config.
	3/ Start up my dsl link at boot time
	3/ adding a kernel module (Cisco vpn) to join my office (I haven't any authotity to change it to openvpn ;-( )
	4/ reformat the disc to support md (mirroring for the historical /, swap and /boot afaik /System/Kernel/Boot?)
	   and lvm over md for /Users /System/Variable may be also /Depot and some other fs of my usage.

Thanks to all for kind advise,
	r.
