I have never compiled the kernel and because that I am a beat afraid to do that, but I think that sooner or later I will do Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) -Mensaje original- De: Rune Kallhovd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fecha: lunes, 20 de noviembre de 2000 13:06 Asunto: Re: [newbie] How to install a rpm new kernel Francisco Alcaraz Ariza wrote: Hello everybody, I am having problems to install a new kernel in rpm format; If I use the classical rpm -i it seems that everything goes well, but in fact my kernel is not modified.
