If you haven't done a kernel compile before, you may want to do some googling around for the compile how-tos out there. It isn't much of a mystery. The important thing is to get a working .config file, either by using the xconfig or menuconfig scripts before starting the compile process. I'm running the latest Marcelo 2.4.21-pre3 with zero problems (other than the occasional mysterious lockups which date back to 2.4.18). > I know that there is an RPM for kernel-2.4.20-2.2 on the redhat network > site ... but it says that it is for Red Hat Linux Beta (Phoebe) i386. > > Does anyone know if I can use this to upgrade my kernel in 8.0 Highly doubtful. This RH kernel is patched for many things including interoperability with the nptl-enhanced glibc used in Phoebe. jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@shaw.ca -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
