Yeah well, the howto uses 2.6.16 as example kernel, as 2.6.16 was the
current stable kernel when I wrote it. 
But hmm, Frieder still marked 2.6.16-rt29 as the stable rt-sources in
the overlay - not sure why exactly, maybe perceived level of risk -
anyways in case of PAM and the kernel, I personally recommend using
latest ~ masked pam and =rt-sources-2.6.20-r8 :)
