If you bought since May 1 ( I think that's right ) there is a discounted upgrade being offered. I saw it on one of the Linux web pages... maybe linuxmall... not sure. Plus, most places on the web sell the official Red Hat package for about $30. > I understand that RH 5.1 is needed for VFAT support. That's probably > what I need most. The rest of the improvements are just icing. Thanks. Not true. VFAT is in the 2.0.31 kernel with RH5.0. If you want FAT32 you need to upgrade to kernel 2.0.34. That's what I did and with the "make xconfig" option, there's lots of help for choosing kernel options. After upgrading the kernel, FAT32 will be recognized with the vfat option in /etc/fstab. -- Doug -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
