of course that makes (better) sense.. now that I've re-perused the book it turns out that 2.4 is OK except it needs some additional steps that can be avoided with 2.6. (which means I could've just tried it on RH7.3 that I already have). anyhow, I had this RHEL3 that was never installed succesfully (due to insufficient RAM), so, at least I've finally installed it (which is probably a good exercise for me) thanks for all the suggestions, -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
