Here's an answer I wrote just as kernel 2.4 was in prerelease. Accordingly, a bit of the wording about present-day status is a bit obsolete (it applied _then_), but should give you a solid understanding of the technical issue. http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/kb/181 As to how much LFS support is provided specifically in RH 7.3's precompiled code, you'll have to ask them. -- Cheers, "We're sorry; you have reached an imaginary number.
