Don't touch RH 4.0 it's not worth the effort. Get the Infomagic CD, It
has most of the fixes to 3.0.3 on it, as well as the 2.0 kernel upgrade
stuff. Upgrade to the next version of RHCL when it's stable.

1-800 numbers are charged at international rates if you're outside the U.S.
You may have to fax them or just call them.
