may i ask what's the difference bet upgrading the 2.4 kernel of rh9

thanks..

There are a lot of other prgorams and utilities that must be upgraded along with the kernel. I also noticed that the dependency structure of certain programs changes with the kernel. Some programs, for example, that use the 2.4 kernel depend on other packages that aren't needed in distors that use the 2.6 kernel, and vice versa.

I would agree with the others that grafting a 2.6 kernel onto a distro that is structured to use a 2.4 kernel is one big headache. You will run into othe rproblems even further down the raod. Upgrading to a distro that is designed to use the 2.6 kernel (such as Fedora or CentOS) is a better idea.

God bless!
