Then it's the kernel. For the RH version, try: cat /etc/redhat-release You should see something like this: [root@whale ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) Joshua A.

I still have access to the dvd so I can probably get it from there. Where does/should the createrepo command reside on the server? /usr/sbin???
