There *is* a SKAS patch for x86_64 hosts (not yet released for 2.6.14, but 
it's already adapted), but it only works in some cases. Slackware root_fs's, 
for instance.

Ah, you're the one who saw that.

News: Antoine Martin uses even newer Slackware root_fs, up to 10.0/10.1 IIRC.

If you don't patch the host, you can't test skas3
