As I was working today I kept notes on my adventures in installing the HP Proliant Support Pack software on my server running CentOS 5.5. It's a rough guide but I have posted it up in the HP Support forums in the hopes that it will help others who take on this task. http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1436465 I have also submitted a request to add a wiki page on the CentOS wiki so I can post the guide and work on cleaning it up. I am unsure if it'd be a good idea to post it to the mailing list due to it's length. If you have feedback or questions please let me know, -Woody -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is there an rpm that triggers something after this step? I'm just curious about it and would like to try it but I have no Proliant to test on. I think what I really want to know is why use make oldconfig when you might have 30 more hp machines to use it on with diff hardware unless there are the same. Admin preference I guess. John
