Hello, I got my little beater P133 running again, courtesy of a $15 1.2GB used hard drive from a local dealer ;) Now off to the races. I did a minimal install, then removed a few things like kudzu and linuxconf and a few others that I don't believe I need. I did an 'rpm -qa > rpm.list.install' immediately after the first reboot, and then 'rpm -qa > rpm.list.001' after removing packages, then 'rpm.list.002' after installing mysql-3.23 and mysql-server. Still under 140MB. Woohoo! Now I am kind of following along thru the Securing and Optimizing RedHat Linux guide from the LDP, which is written specifically for 6.1 & 6.2. The first thing I ran into was that of all the packages listed, the egcs compiler wasnt' available. I remembered something about there being a separate 'kgcc' for the kernel on RH 7.0, so I installed it, and found that there were some packages 'compat-egcs-6.2' and 'compat-egcs-c++-6.2', along w/ some compatible libraries, which seem to be what a person needs to compile C/C++ programs that are compatible w/ the rest of the world? I realize I'm coming to the dance a bit late here for 7.0, but any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Monte ===== "Here, catch!
