Well my kernel is name 2.4.17-10 using 'uname -r' to check. But when I used 'rpm -ivh kernel*' it updated the kernel no problem. I tried to update the source, headers, docs but gave me an error on the headers.
so with uname -r it shows the new kernel but with the command 'rpm -qa kernel*' it shows the old kernel headers, docs, source. I think I am done except I may want to keep the old kernel in place or maybe just remove it after I find this one is stable. thanks eric l. mcclure I feel like a million bucks somewhat updating my first kernel! also my other questions were not answered that I post, would somebody like to take a stab at it? What is the difference between: kernel enterprise kernel kernel security And for the docs do I use kernel.html kernel.ps kernel.pdf or does it really matter? I've downloaded all of these 2.4.17-10.mdk kernel kernel headers kernel security kernel source kernel enterprise kernel.html kernel.ps kernel.pdf kernel smp kernel boot If I use the command 'rpm -ivh kernel*' does anyone foresee any problems? This will be my second attempt and I know to check lilo but want to be able to use ppp module for internet and this rpm business looks pretty effortless (I HOPE). on my machine the source, headers, doc, kernel are all the same version as 2.4.8-26mdk I believe. Thanks for the bandwidth, eric l. mcclure
