I had another look back at what I had done with the apt-get system and it seemed that apt-get dist-upgrade had never finished, so I have started it again and one of the 'new' packages listed is the new kernel that I want. Will wait until that finishes and see what happens - besides I cant do an rpm -q at the moment as apt-get appears to have locked the rpm database. Thanks and will let you know what happens -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
