you can increase the size of your fonts by changing the order of 100dpi
and 75dpi fonts in the xfs config... RH doesn't seem to want to fix
this... it's been like this since the RH5.x days.

increase your resolution to 1024x768 ... all apps work good at that
resolution.

do you get this error often ??
try running a find... and see more of these messages pop up.

don't remove the original kernel headers... those are needed by glibc.
and don't remove the original kernel either... it's always good to have
the original kernel around... because you know for sure that one works! :)
if you have the kernel-sources rpm installed... you can remove that ...
it occupies over 100MB is not required.

there were some errors reading from your hard disk. ... try running disk
intensive tasks... and see if there are any more errors (find is a good
place to start)
