How do I uninstall the old ones before installing the new ones Matthew? By uninstalling the old ones, will the old kernel be rendered unusable? To uninstall, do I just rpm -e NVIDIA*. Will that work? regards Greg On Tue, 2002-12-24 at 03:24, Matthew Saltzman wrote: On 23 Dec 2002, greg wrote:

One more thing. If you have an IDE cd-rw remember to add the hdc=ide-scsi to the append initrd=initrd.img hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda2 line in the boot floppy syslinux.cfg file. Replace hdc with your cd-rw device name. regards --- steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the mkbootdisk tip.

You say default=2.4.19 but then you don't supply an image for the 2.4.19 kernel , repeat this very paragraph once more but adjust the settings where necessary in order to boot the 2.4.19 kernel or change the default line to default=2.4.18-19.8.0 . In this way it should work Regards,

Re: JAVA - JRE or SDK

JRE is the run time environment. You'll need this if you just want to run compiled Java program (Java application). No compiler. SDK is needed if you would like to write your own Java program. So it comes with the compiler. Which to download? The SDK includes JRE, but the download size is huge.
