yeah, its a good point, but its an easy answer.. download your kernel rpm install it with rpm -ivh kernel.x.x.x.rpm (the I stands for install, as opposed to upgrade.) then get your new kernel headers, and upgrade them. rpm -Uvh kernel-headers.x.x.x.rpm The U being indicative of upgrade. That will work just wonderfully, and if for some reason, the install fails, it won't clag your install because the old kernel is still there to get you up and running again. once you know the new one works, you can remove the old with : rpm -e kernel.old.x.x I have been doing this for ages and its never failed. (ie, I have never toasted my old kernel installing the new one.) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Johnson, David Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2001 3:42 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [newbie] Warning for newbies, learn from my mistake This bring up a good point, though.
