Hi Cory, I am afraid that I don't know the answer to that question. I parted company with SuSE kernels (and all things kernel-related), when I decided to install the vanilla 2.4.0 - since then I have been on a voyage of discovery. I read crrey's response, and it may well be correct. I suppose that you could download the rpm and examine its contents (rpm -q or use xrpm, which I find very convenient), and if it does not look it will make any complex changes to your system you could install it and uninstall if it does not work (back up your modules.conf befor making any changes). I have, however, seen a few posts from people who have had trouble backing out rpm'd modifications to their systems, so you will have to be aware of the risks. It does seem *extremely* odd that SuSE would provide a kernel 2.4 upgrade and not also provide the necessary ppp update - there are large numbers of us relying on ppp here in Europe and quite a few must have 7.0 (or 6.5 as we are now rather disappointingly informed it should have been called). Perhaps one of the SuSE (or ex-SuSE - hint to Ben), contributors to the List could comment. Sorry I can't be more help. Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
