Provided you have version 2.5.4 or newer of up2date (I think that's the default of 7.2 and higher) all you need do is let it install the rpms and reboot. If you have an older version of up2date, you need to upgrade that first. It automatically updates lilo.conf or grub.conf as well as runs lilo (if that's your boot loader, grub needs nothing more then the conf file changed) so all you need to do is reboot to load the new kernel. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
