I got the 2.2.17 RPM and installed it. However, I know there is more I need
to do to use the new kernel, but I just can't get started. None of the books
I have (and I have several) address installing a new kernel from RPM. I have
read the Kernel How to, but it was not much help. Could you help? You may
give me some specific instructions or point me to some good reading which
contains specific instructions.
Thanks
Michael
