I remember some discussion of that some time back, but it wasn't enough of an 
issue for me, and I was too busy, to follow the discussion. I seem to 
remember someone saying they'd written a custom script or something - I also 
seem to remember a statement to the effect that there was some work ongoing 
to deal with this very issue - if you rely on my memory, however, you're a 
braver man than me. You might try to google the list archives, though I can't 
help you with the search terms (memory problem)... Actually, I seem to 
remember it being in the context of some thread about someone getting his 
system hosed because of video issues caused by a kernel update, and how he 
couldn't get back...
