I have that from the old system (4.2) would I have to alter it ?

Yes thank you,
By what you said you didn't have to recompile the kernel, and all you did
was to load the scc modules that are already part of the installation.
Is that correct ?
Did you have to alter any files so that the modules were loaded on boot
(and stayed loaded) ?
Where were sccinit, were they on the system (I don't think they were there
on mine), if not were did you get them from and what package, I found
z8530drv-utils-3.0-3.i386.rpm is that the one to use ?
I am asking these questions as I cannot get to the new disk without
upsetting the network here and would like to change OS's with the smallest
of down-time possible.
I appriciate your time in answering these question - and thank you in
advance.
