I would recommend upgrading to the official upgrade for the kernel, which (so far) is 2.4.16. If you look in the directory, there are several companion updates, such as reiserfs, etc. You only need the one kernel rpm, but I would suggest downloading the other rpms (not kernel) in the directory, then use Yast1 to install them (I like seeing which ones are installed with Yast 1 so I am not installing something new that wasn't there before, just updating what has already been installed). Afterward, as root, mk_initrd and then lilo. I could be wrong, but I don't think it is the apps, but the VM in the 2.4.10 kernel. 2.4.16 is much better. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
