To kick out of the login banner, you should be able to hit the Restart X Session button on KDM. That will usually toss you out from a remote X session. If you're coming in from a VC on another Linux box, or from the console of another *nix box, it may be a little different. I usually tell

IIRC The Redhat solution was: You could upgrade to 4.02 using a recent 3.x THEN, you can upgrade from 4.02 to 4.03 (you just couldn't get from 3.x to 4.03 directly). I might be wrong on that one though. It's a two step process. That's the best I can remember of that one. The other solution:
