Thanks for the reply Arjan. I don't disagree with the reasoning behind the decision to remove the kernel. I don't have to like the fact that there is no i386 kernel, though. ;) If not for the RULE project, I wouldn't have noticed that it was missing. In fact, I only noticed when my initial test of the slinky installer for the 8.0 release failed to reboot, due to the fact that there was no kernel package installed. It just means I need to find a creative workaround. The kernel-BOOT package may solve part of the problem for those i386 and i486 machines that don't need kernel math emulation. Oh well, off to do some testing.... - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9sXJIn/07WoAb/SsRArLsAJ4glMy5YciXLnJp6t5uWWQH2sZVZACeMBVv VCz/kyR7demfflF024yyDg4= =xcDL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
