Ralph: Thank you for the rpm command and the syntax! That confirms
what I have been seeing the past few days, that no updates are
available! The kernel-headers for the latest kernel is there, along
with the latest kernel. However, it is not shown in the GRUB menu when
I boot the box, and, the box boots the old kernel. My knowledge of
Linux, obviously, is very limited. How can I correct this, so the box
will boot the latest kernel? TIA! Lanny
