Been hittin' the eggnog pretty hard lately. 8-) Glad you got things worked out! I've got some newfangled smaller laptop coming for travelling purposes so I plan to join you soon and convert my R3000 to a 4.2 workstation as well. Cheers,

If you really need a newer kernel than what RHEL/CentOS provides, try rebuilding from SRPM (.src.rpm) from Red Hat Rawhide (aka Fedora Development): http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/ E.g., the latest just release today is 2.6.14-1.1788: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.14-1.1788_FC5.src.rpm Rawhide has been pretty good on offering the latest kernel.org developments, plus Cox's patches and other patches merged to make it Red Hat'ish. Of course, there may be other pre-requisites -- something kernel.org tarballs won't tell you. -- Bryan J.
