How can I apply the kernel upgrade from
http://www2.empeg.com/upgrades/tools/pppkernel7.upgrade ?
I can't find a /vmlinuz, I could replace.

UPDATE:
How embarrassing ...
The Windows upgrader software can do it.

I know you've worked it out, but...

Unlike PC linux systems, the kernel is not stored on the hard disk - it's stored, compressed, in flash. This means that the kernel can be booting while the hard disks are still spinning up, which gives a faster boot time.

We're still working on the boot time, and I've shaved about 1.5 seconds off it (hopefully in the next release).
