Hai,

I have installed RH linux 7.1 (2.4.2-2 Kernel). I want to install the RH linux Too. Only the kernel I want as I am running in short of space. I want both because my modem supports only kernel 2.4.2-2 (Seawolf) So please help me .

A bunch of Thanks in Advance.

Bye.

Dont have a clue about what you're asking. What do you want to install?

Hai,

Thanks for your respondse. I want to install RH Lnux 8.0 . I have the RH Linux 7.1 Now . I have the kernel (2.4.2-2) . So help me please to addd one more kernel so that Lilo can descide to which kernel I want to go.

A bunch of Thanks in Advance.

Bye

RH 7.1 and RH 8.0 are not kernels. They are different versions of a distribution. Yes, they can coexist and share the swap partition, if that's what you're asking.

Oh Again I am sorry for the insufficient feed back given to you. I already have kernel 2.4.2-2 kernel. Now I want to put the kernel of redhat 8.0 too. So how can I put it and give a link to LILO so that I can boot it through LILO. Please help me as I am stuck with this. Do it disturb my old kenel? .I put the old kernel even though I like the Rh 8.0 kernel because my modem supports only kernel series of 2.4.*. My modem is sm56 pci modem.

So what should I do? Or Do you know any means so that I can make the redhat 8 compatible to my sm56 pci modem?

A bunch of thanks in Advance.

Bye.

So you want to update your kernel. If you install it via rpm, it should add a boot entry for the new kernel in your LILO.conf. No worries, it wont replace the old one. You will still be able to choose the old version from your boot prompt.

Hai ,

thanks for the information. I have the redhat linux 8.0 with me .So can I take the kernel from it? If So , how can I do it

Please help me.

A bunch of thanks in advance.

Bye
