List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, Bill. Thanks for the info. However, I will give you some info about my system here. I've already updated from 2.4.2 to the 2.4.3.12 headers, kernels, devs, etc. That was no problem. I grabbed the Athlon because that is my processor type. To be specific a 1.2 GHZ Athlon Thunderbird. I'm sitting on a fast machine here, and well might as well get the best Linux can offer for it. I'll try this, and let you know if the updates work ok. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William F.
