<snip> You got that right. I never imagined all the little nuances I forgot I knew (and now don't know any more). I'm muddling through it. The whole point being to get something more stable than a once a year complete OS rebuild/swap for RHx. I got it (eth0:0) to work but had to build a new kernel to do it. That took some doing as well, but I believe I finally got all the piece parts together (for the kernel) and got it going. It seems somehow on install I got some sort of mini-kernel. Probably something I did. Installing the precompiled kernel didn't work because my NIC wouldn't come up.
