It seems to work fine if you integrate the kernel into the kickstart tree and do a fresh install. I have had mixed results updating the kernel rpm after it's already up and running. Sometimes it works, sometimes it blows up, and sometimes it appears to work and blows up when you're not looking. I've come to the conclusion that it's a bad idea if you like to sleep. Thanks for the pointer on Yum. It might be overkill for what I need right now, but if I take my current procject any further it could be useful. My main goal was integrating the updates tree once. After that I want to do it manually as new packages are released, or rather I want to tell someone else to do it manually. -- Derek Vadala, derek@xxxxxxxxxxxx, http://www.cynicism.com/~derek
