Hi Paul Does this mean that if I replace the kernel rpm and re-burn the CDs , then the new kernel will be installed on the machine ? e.g. -> I dump the 3 CDs od RH9.0 , replace the rpm of kernel 2.4.20-8 with 2.4.24 , re-create the CDs ? If so , then what steps are to be taken to build the RPM from the kernel source ?
