Thanks for the replies.
Couple of followup questions:
1. I noticed there are multiple levels of kernel-** RPM's out there.
Do I just update using the highest numbered ones? (i.e. just
kernel-2.4.9-37...)
or do I have to do both the 2.4.9-31 and then the 2.4.9-37 ??
Also, does it matter what order I updated the various RPM's.
(i.e. kernel- kernel-BOOT, kernel-doc, kernel-headers, kernel-source
etc.)
2. I read about single user mode. Seems like not much is mounted or running
in single user mode.
Will RPM run OK in this mode?
3. Observation: Also read that RPM itself may need to be updated first,
before running the other RPMs; however,
in the S/390 updates I see not RPM for RPM, so I'm assuming I'll be ok.
