Hello everyone!  =)

I need your help with the problems I encountered recently.  I'm using Mandrake 8.1, 
Intel Pentium III 800 Mhz and 384 MB SDRAM.

Problem No. 1:

I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.16-9mdk.rpm and successfully did it.  But my problem is 
when I am about to reboot or shutdown my box, I encountered the error messages of:

/etc/rc0.d/S01halt:  line -76: 54xx  segmentation fault  $*

What does it mean?

Problem No. 2:

How will I remove my previous kernel 2.4.8?

Problem No. 3:

I already have StarOffice 5.2 installed in my box at /opt/soffice52 and with no 
problem at all.  Last night I installed OpenOffice60-mdk.rpm at /opt/openoffice60 also 
in my box with no problem at all.  But when I tried to run OpenOffice 6.0, it can't?  
Why was that so?  Besides, I've noticed that only "soffice" and "setup" executable 
files were present in my /opt/openoffice60/programs directory.  So I've assumed that 
the "soffice" file was the right file to run OpenOffice 6.0.  Is it okay to install 
OpenOffice 6.0 and StarOffice 5.2 at the same box and under /opt?

Problem No. 4:

I need some clarifications 'cause I'm still confused.  I installed before the Mandrake 
8.1 with the default kernel 2.4.8 with the following partitions and filesystems:

/boot - ext2fs
/usr  - XFS
/home - XFS
/opt  - XFS
/var  - XFS
/usr/projects - XFS
swap
/     - XFS

and when I installed the kernel 2.4.16-9 my / partitions was changed to ext2fs.  I've 
used the kernel-2.4.16-9mdk.rpm from one of the Mandrake Cooker Mirror Sites.  Why was 
that so?  Does it mean that when I upgrade my current kernel version my / partition 
will be changed to ext2fs or whatever FS of the new kernel version and regardless of 
what was the previous filesystem of my /?  And meaning, my other partitions were not 
upgraded?


Thank you in advance!  =)

God bless...
