Oh come on now!! If you really followed this stuff closely and thought about what you just said you would realize that inorder to get this stuff on the shelves ever there has to be a cutoff date to put the thing into production. Best I can tell that was around Oct 05 2001. That is what the date for the 7.2 directory on the ftp site is. Anything after that will come to us as updates. Lets see Bugtraq just last week announced security holes in all of the older (older than 2.4.12 I think) kernels. How would you expect redhat to have the latest and greatest kernel on the cd's when it did not even exist at production time? I will predict that at the same time they OFFICIALLY release 7.2 they will open the 7.2 updates directory also for our downloading pleasure. All it will take is a little more patience. Monday is only a few hours away. :-) Just my $.02!! -- ......Tom Dysfunction The Only Consistent Feature of All [EMAIL PROTECTED] of Your Dissatisfying Relationships is You. _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
