Ray a small comment, while Redhat does not include a .config file in any
form i know of for the installed kernel, Slackware and Corel do.
Slackware = /boot/config
Corel = /boot/config-kernel-version-number
I would bet a nickel, as Lawson put is so nicely in another mail, that other
distro's do as well.
They all seem to place it in /boot altho' the name is different from distro
to distro, i remember once seeing a file called 'whats-in-2.x.x' i cant
remember which distro it was.
I am also thinking that there should be a SMP kernel on the distribution
CDrom, or whatever meudium was used to install in the first place.
Via rpm's one should be able to install that kernel and its modules, altho'
i have not tryed and i dont have a redhat cdrom here at the minute, i have
lent mine to someone else, so i cant check.
