Hmm... an upgrade would be advisable. Go to a distribution site for your
Linux dist, and grab the update RPMs.

Maybe we can do this over e-mail, though it may take a while to get it
working. First, a few questions:
1. What distribution + version are you using?
2. Does your X work?

IF = Installfest. Bring your computers to an IF, they take care of
everything.
LERT = Linux Emergency Response Team. We go to your place to take care of
everything. Obviously limited to local area :)
