Cleve, Glad to hear from another obsessive Linux geek! :)
I just made the jump at work to doing everything I need on a Linux box as opposed to WinXP, and the feeling is great! I'll help you however I can. It sound like you need to install the kernel source package. You can find it on your RH7.2 CDs or on the web. Hmmmm.... rpmfind.net is down at the moment, but you can try the RH mirror sites. Let us know if you find it and how it goes. Good Luck! John Hebert --- Cleve Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2.4.10?
