It depends. Is this a production system? If so, think twice before updating the kernel. Remember the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Otherwise, if you do plan on upgrading the kernel, make sure you have the latest up2date (RedHat says that something is wrong with older ones, I forget what it was offhand though), and then update the kernel. >From personal experience, I have never had any problem upgrading a kernel with up2date, and I have never had to do anything besides running the "up2date" program, restarting, and continuing with my work. Good Luck with whatever you choose :) -Jon On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 13:02, MET wrote: > I just ran the Red Hat Update Agent and it informed me that my kernel > and kernel-source are out of date.
