I am still clueless about why there was a 2.0 kernel source on my RedHat7.0 distro but I have gotten everything more or less straightened out. I downloaded the 2.4 kernel and after some time the computer is now talking. But I ran into one problem It seems that installing a new kernel killed gdm so most of what the computer is saying is gdm errors about every 30 sec. or so. I got a tip to uninstall and re rpm gdm and that should fix it. With any luck I will have everything smoothed out in an hour or so. Thank you all for you help, William Stianche "William F.
