Be aware that this will void any support agreements you may have in place with Red Hat. RPM packages have the naming format: name-version-release.arch.rpm (e.g. kernel-2.6.9-22.i686.rpm) 2.6.9 is the version of the kernel source from which kernel-2.6.9-22 was built. There will also be a a number of patches included that would be applied to the vanilla 2.6.9 tree to bring it up to release 22. the -22 part is an RPM build-specific version number. Effectively it means that this is the 22nd RPM release (well, technically *build*, not *release*) of the 2.6.9 kernel RPM the -22 is fairly meaningless if you are building kernels without using the RPM build system. If you installed the src rpm as root, you will find details of the version number and the different patches that Red Hat apply in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ Regards, Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA RHCX To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
