I have no idea how to run the 4.1 FrontEnd with the 4.2 kernel, but I do have them both, as I just upgraded from one to the other. I haven't lost a file since Tuesday, but that's meaningless. I've also had NO RESPONSE from WRI on this. Don't believe whatever they tell you about "Premier" service.

Since as far as I can tell all the interesting enhancements are in the kernel that would be a fairly reasonable work around, if it works of course. Can anyone who has got both versions test it?
