Paul, thanks a bunch! I am using ver. 8.2. When I went to get the
kernel from the above site I found the following:

******************
New to Linux?
If you're new to Linux, you don't want to download the kernel, which
is just a component in a working Linux system. Instead, you want what
is called a distribution of Linux, which is a complete Linux system.
There are numerous distributions available for download on the
Internet as well as for purchase from various vendors; some are
general-purpose, and some are optimized for specific uses. We
currently have mirrors of the Debian and RedHat general-purpose
distributions available at mirrors.kernel.org, as well as a small
collection of special-purpose distributions at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/dist/
*******************

So, should I do the download and install or ??????. I am really wet
behind the ears on this so I am kinda lost here.

I am not quite sure what you are saying here. What is the "stable
CVS branch?"

What is the "CVS code and where would I find it?

As I said I am a real newbie at this ;-)

And, MANY thanks for the help!!
