Hi Ron:

yes, the PC and the RedHat Linux 5.2 are very old,
however, i don't think i will plan to replace them. I
just want to use them for practice. i think there
should be someone who can answer my question. so, I
sent out an email ...

i think you must be able to help me to solve this
problem.

Waiting for your solution.

thanks and regards!
David
