I ran RH9 until the beginning of this year, and I was on kernel 2.4.30- You have two choices: - you can d/l the source for the driver, and build it yourself, or - you can upgrade the whole o/s. The latter is, indeed, scary. You'll *not* just be going up a partial release, but a whole release, and nobody makes a distro that's easy to upgrade a whole release. For the whole o/s, it's not only the kernel, but the binary utilities, and the Biggest, Scariest thing of all: glibc, which almost *everything* depends on. I would recommend biting the bullet, and doing the upgrade. Another thing I'd note is that I, personally, wound up going to SuSE, because I was not comfortable with Fedora, as it seems to be more bleeding edge than leading edge, and I'm not interested in debugging the o/s. Another option would be, I gather, centos, which seems to be RedHat Enterprise with the serial numbers filed off . mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
