Ah, ok, missed that. Getting much farther now.
Finally ends with mnu MethodContext>>debuggerMap installing Kernel.

Once you've done this you should be able to either merge any of the versions from the trunk directly, or via updating. I did both just now (deleting my local package-cached version) and both ways work fine.

>>>There is no need to. The updater uses merges which means that any newer versions you have won't be nuked, any local modifications that you have will be preserved. For Installer-Core (which you can merge manually if you want to see the differences) there are only two methods that are different and the differences are pretty much irrelevant. That's what is powerful about updating from the trunk - you *can* maintain your own versions of packages and merge in only the new stuff from the trunk repository.
