(dated 5th Feb). (The 7.1 updates have 2.4.9-12). Both the 7.1 and 7.2 updates also have kernel-2.4.9.21 there (dated 22 Jan). What is making this more confusing are repeated notifications for updates that point to exactly the same packages. Two examples: - tmpwatch bugfix notification on 2001-10-16 and again on 2002-02-04 (but no update for the second notification, which points to the same packages mentioned in the first notice). - kernel update notifications on 2002-01-22 and 2002-02-05, again both pointing to the same 2.4.9-21 packages. More confusing is the fact that 2.4.9-13 was placed into the public updates at the same time as the second notification. This doesn't make the situation any clearer... http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh72-errata.html Also, it seems that nohody at redhat has noticed (after almost a year) that these files in the 6.2 updates are getting needlessly mirrored all over the world... 7271271 Apr 16 2001 updates/6.2/en/os/i386/.nfs002a3f8a0000001a 18012383 Apr 16 2001 updates/6.2/en/os/i386/.nfs002a3f910000001b 9382186 Jan 16 2001 updates/6.2/en/os/i386/.nfs002e366b00000001 22571131 Apr 16 2001 updates/6.2/en/os/SRPMS/.nfs000bba7c00000019 Cheers Tony
