 +You should read the [[slackwarearm:cstmz_kernel_rpi|this guide]] before transitioning to them, as there are a few caveats due to the configuration disparity between the default RPi Kernel config and the generic Slackware Kernel configuration.
  
-You should follow [[slackwarearm:cstmz_kernel_rpi|this guide]] to upgrade to them.  You just don't need to download them from the Slackware ARM repository, since you just built your own!
