Not entirely, Red-carpet doesn't do kernel updates.

What specifically have you heard that makes you think that? Seriously. Maybe I'm not getting all the posts, but so far, the only complaints I've seen are problems running Ximian customized packages instead of Red Hat customized packages of GNOME. none of that is due to the packaging tools, but that Ximian and Red hat use different versions of libraries, and make customizations, as does Ximian. If you run the Ximian modified GNOME desktop and RPM, you need their packages, whether your update tool is RC, up2date, or ftp and rpm on the command line. I teach this stuff, so that is why I want to see the arguments; nothing personal. -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
