Yes, indeed he did. I was able to upgrade my RH 3.0. However, now I have
another question concerning running the new kernel modularized. The only
way I can boot the new system is via one of my old monolithic kernels.
I had to synlink vmlinuz -> zImage_2.0.22 in the directory /boot. I tried
to boot using the installed kernel however my scsi did not work.
I'm ok for now but I may be back after the weekend when I try to do a
fresh install (not an upgrade). I still have RH 3.0 on another drive...
sort of a backup system until I can get RH 4.0 up the way I want it.

Regards,
Terry
