Am I missing something here? Installing a new kernel will add not replace. One never upgrades a kernel. Since Mike specified a "non-networked workstation" he has to copy the rpm for the new kernel from somewhere. Wherever that somewhere is, the easiest way to install a new kernel on any Mandrake release since forever has been urpmi, but that requires sources for software be set up. Second easiest, after transferring the package to the target machine, is to open a terminal in the directory holding the new package and as super user type: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21.0.28mdk.rpm [Enter] Then in the same terminal, after the previous operation completes: lilo -v [Enter] You could combine the two; rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21.0.28mdk.rpm && lilo -v [Enter] I don't like telling people that are uncertain of _anything_ to manually edit configuration files. The results will be the same, just a lot less chance of an oopsie happenning. Regards; Charlie - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User #244963 at http://counter.li.org You're working under a slight handicap.
