I am a newbie to linux. I am interested in updating the Red Hat 7.1 (Seawolf) I have installed, using the Laptop selection during the install, on my Dell 8000 (Laptop w/ 1GHz PIII, 256MB RAM, 15"SVGA+ LCD, DVD, etc...).
I am attempting to use the interesting up2date program. The program skips the kernel updates but indicates: "Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... There was a fatal RPM error. The message was: To solve all dependencies for the RPMs you have selected, The following packages you have marked to exclude would have to be added to the set: kernel-smp-2.4.9-21" Why would anything installed with the Laptop install process require the smp kernel? Which package(s) rewquire(s) the smp kernel. I assume I won't need that rpm/package, but I am not sure. Details on how to upgrade the kernel with information on how to fix the Nvidia GeForce Go (32MB) video patch for the kernel would also be appreciated. Thanks, James The problem with passing laws that prevent citizens from carrying guns is that the criminals will carry them anyway... _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
