I just caught up on updates on a 7.3 box that hadn't had any since freshrpms.net quit doing 7.3. If you take the 2.4.20-37.7.legacy kernel everything else should work. You should still be able to boot your custom kernel if you want but RH kernels tend to have a lot of newer patches backed in so it may actually be ahead of yours. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
