Unfortunately, I shot my mouth off without thinking.  The patches in the
600 series will not apply w/out the etc01 distribution.  However,
they are not kernel patches per se, but one is a patch to the games
and the other has been rendered obsolete by the addition of Julian's
SCSI driver's which are now in the additional BETA patches which 
Jordan has released.
