No I haven't, as much from a lack of info as anything else. Furinstance if I install the newer modconfig stuffs, is it backwards compatible, likewise for binutils? Will my nvidia gforce 2 32 meg mmx still work? Basicly I have this, the work machine, and a firewall thats still running RH7.3, but with a newer kernel, 2.4.20 I think. If I had a third to play with, I'd be a lot more willing to experiment, but so far all I'm doing is keeping up with the latest 2.4.22-preX stuff. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
