The last centos I pulled was 4.3 just a month ago, the kernel was in the 2.6.9. Thats at least a year old, and ieee1394 support is broken, still is for that matter. Thats one thing I do keep up with, currently running 2.6.18-rc7. Is it new enough that I can then build a current kernel and install all of kino-0.8 and its utils, or am I headed (again) for dependency hell trying to edit a wedding from my firewire equipt movie camera and burn a vcd of it? That would be the target job for me at the moment, the rest is convienience stuff. This is the only box with a firewire card installed, and the rest are slower boxes. I didn't know centos-4.4 was out, I may fire up azureas and nuke the 4.3 dvd images I have now. >However, CentOS >5 will be out in 6 months... :o) No immediate need to upgrade then >though as CentOS 4.x will get full updates until Feb 29 2008 and >maintenance updates until Feb 29 2012 (http://www.centos.org/modules/ >smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42). > >Nils Breunese. > >-- >fedora-legacy-list mailing list >fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
