Right thought ltp was in that order. > I'm not sure what was released by Caldera prior to that because I've only > been using Caldera for a little over 2 years.

I also have many rpms that I have done for SuSE 8.0 I am sure that I can use to update this. I am also aware that there is a system whereby one can get a tarball and rpm it staright away. I am fortunate in that I have a _GRUNT_ system in h/w. I run a BIG hardware supplier online and look after his website (http://www.gamedude.com.au), I get everything at cost and he trades the old stuff for me. Athlon XP2000, Soltek MB DDR 1gig, 60 & 20 gig 7200 HD. So as dep suggested start with 2.4 and go from there, as I also said I am open to suggestions too.
