Normally one should "CD upgrade" between major version changes -- e.g.,
FC1/CL3.2->FC2/CL4.0.

But "apt-get dist-upgrade" seems to work flawless for minor revision
changes -- e.g., RHL9/CL3.1->FC1/CL3.2.

No. nVidia's 1.0-6xxx series of drivers support either stack size so it
wasn't an issue for me.

But even with the older 1.0-5xxx series of drivers, it was just a matter
of rebuilding the kernel with the stack change. Several 3rd party
Fedora repositories offered such kernels too.
