Looking at http://www.rpmfind.net/ I see things like: > > kernel-2.4.20-2.6.i686.rpm > kernel-2.4.20-2.6.src.rpm ..???

So go find kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm, or even better > upgrade packages to a 2.4.20 kernel the current latest stable release. ..2.4.18-19.8.0 is RH's upgraded kernel for RH-8.0, and 2.4.18-19.7.x for RH-7.3 et al. 2.4.20-2.2 is "RawHide 1.0 Source" which is RH-talk for development stuff. Read the specfile to see how RH builds their kernels. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
