I have just ordered a new box with Hardy installed, due here in a
few days, and I don't know what kernel version that I'll get (I've
sent an email asking). If Hardy is now being shipped with 
2.6.24-18-generic as default, wouldn't a package be needed?

(Looking at the Ubuntu forums, this updated kernel broke not only 
Scramdisk, but some other apps/features as well. Some rolled back 
to 2.6.24-16-generic to fix it). 

Sorry for the newbie question, but if I do get a install with 
2.6.24-18-generic installed, can I roll back to 2.6.24-16 to get 
Scramdisk to work until a compatible package is developed?
