Re: Linux woes

Yes, the kernel files are on the 5.2 CD, they are just not installed by
default.

I was able to get all the kernel components I needed from the RedHat CD. The
CD contained a current version of the kernel 2.0.36-7, but the installation
program did not install the header or source files. To install the packages
from the CD you first need to mount the cd. Put the CD in the drive and at a
command prompt type in:
mount /mnt/cdrom
Then you can use the package manager in X-Windows to look at the available
packages. Go to the Base/Kernel folder and select all the packages in it and
click install.
