Kernel RPM's disaster!

AAHHH!! I really broke it this time. OK, this morning I got all of the kernel rpm's out of the 5.1 updates directory on Redhat. I then did rpm -Uvh kernel*.rpm, and everything appeared to update without a hitch. Unfortunately, upon rebooting my system, I have an ENDLESS scroll of error message

Harddrive re-org..

I am fairly new to Linux, and originally loaded RH5 unto a system shared with Win95. I have now built another box to move Windows into, so that my wife and children will quit asking me to boot into Windows so that they can run their software. :) Here's my question... Windows is currently on C d

Linuxconf ver?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference in the Linuxconf that is distributed by a group in Canada, and the one that comes with RH5.1. I had been running the latest(1.10r34 i think) of the former on 5.0, and just last night, I upgraded(?) to RH5.1, and it installed 1.11r11 which see

Fetchmail question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to configure fetchmail to do what I need it to do... Here's my situation. I have a domain mailbox that I poll. The mail from that account would be either for myself(under multiple names) or to be piped to lists that I have setup under Smartlist on my machine.

Reinstall problem

I am needing to reinstall RH5.0, but would like to retain the /home and /usr/local directories. I created each as seperate partions as recomended in my initial install, but didn't write details anywhere. When I start to reinstall and it asks for all the partition info, I'm not sure how to determ

Mouse in X

I finally went out and popped for a shiny, new, 3-button, Mouse Systems mouse. With gpm, I seem to have it working fine in a VC, but when I load X, it freaks. The pointer is uncontrollable, and for the most part the buttons don't work at all. Can someone tell me what i need to do to reconfig X

Window manager change??

OK...I give up. I have looked and looked, but been unable to find any instructions anywhere on what I need to change to make X load a different window manager than the Fvwm that cam on my RH5.0 CD. I have D/L'd Afterstep, and would like to try that, but I am at a loss... Also, can anyone tell m

Newbie: Partition setup, Etc...

I just got my RH5.0 CD yesterday, and quickly started installing. It seemed to go quite well at first, but I cannot get Metro-X or XFree either one to load. Upon inspection of log files and things those files pointed to, I think I am missing many files, and that this is due to running out of s
