I hope this is not too much of a stupid user question. Part of my confusion comes from the RedHat Network. I have a Dell web appliance that I scrapped Dell's install and redid it from scratch. It has two PIII processors, so my boot image is listed as vmlinuz-2.4.7-10smp in my lilo.conf.
( NOTE : this is NOT a production system ) I want to update the kernel, but I'm slightly confused on what image to download. When I setup the RHN for this system, it subscribed me to the 7.2 i386 channel. However, my system description is "7.2 running on an i686", which makes sense since I'm running on a couple of PIII's. Do I assume that the .../updates/7.2/en/os/i386 directory on the ftp site is updates applicable to all Intel based systems, and anything ix86 specific will be in one of the other directories?? My main question is which kernel update(s) do I download. From the ftp site, I'm assuming I download kernel-smp-2.4.9-21.i686.rpm from updates/7.2/en/os/i686/, and from updates/7.2/en/os/i386/, I download kernel-headers-2.4.9-21.i386.rpm. Am I on the right track?? Thx. KH PS: If someone is going to tell me to RTFM, please let me know which "FM" to read :-)
