Simple documentation for upgrading kernels was never developed as these kernel
images were just experimentally available. At this point I think I would
recommend upgrading to the current pre-release of v0.5 if you must use the
dual-sleeve. See

http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.5/

Please note that this is not an official release and as such be aware that you
would be installing something that is inherently incomplete. I can verify
that
the dual-sleeve works with v0.5-pre, I can't comment on the Airlancer card
as I
am not familiar with it.

For Intimate issues you need to contact the Intimate community, I do not use
Intimate.

Same answer as above.

In the future I highly recommend that you use the community resources that we
have available such as the mailing lists and IRC channels to request support.
