Quickest would probably be to grab a kernel just before they changed tty_struct and compile that up. Or, you might be able to find an rpm floating around, possibly even just take a FC4 kernel rpm. It *should* install in parallel with the FC5 kernel. -Jon > PGA > > On 7/27/06, Jon Wahlmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Paul G.
