 MMm.

 OK, by stock I meant the kernel that RedHat ships with it`s distros as
standard, rather than an unsullied, pure, clean and refreshing Linus kernel :-)
 
 I`ve tried upgrading with 2.2.16-3 (which turns out to be a real/Linus 2.2.16
tar.gz plus a whole horde of patches...maybe I got the wrong one?) and with the
pure 2.2.16.

 No joy with either.

 I`m trying to figure on how to tar.gz everything up, shift it across to another
machine (probably an evil Windoze box over ftp or SMB - as much as I hate
trusting any kind of data to a Windoze machine, it`s the only one with a drive
big enough to hold any thing like all my crap) and then repartition, replace all
my data, then upgrade.

 Gasp.

 AND I intend to install AOLserver and Oracle over the weekend. One day (yes, a
whole 24 hours - 280Mb over a 56k modem!!) to download and another to get it all
working.

 Alternatively, I could flay myself with a whip for the whole weekend, end up
with a system no different than before and suffer a lot less pain because of
it.....
