Ok, so this *should* be a newbie question, but I don't know the answer! How do I install the pre-built 2.4.2 kernel? Should I simply rpm -i k_deflt_24-2.4.2-4.i386.rpm?
Not quite :-) Use 'rpm -Uvh k_deflt_24-2.4.2-4.i386.rpm'.
Philipp, That didn't work for me. I did this and I still get 'uname -r' == 2.4.0-4GB, but now I don't have any modules to go along with it. No network on my print server {:-(>. Perhaps it's 'cause I had changed something in the configuration along the way. This is fairly unlikely in as much as this box was upgraded to 7.1 about an hour ago. The only way my changes could be the cause of the problem is if the stuff carried over from the previous configuration. Oh well, I may actually have time to read some of the modutils stuff. Perhaps I'll be able to play a bit more by the rules if I learn what they are. Steve
