You got my question absolutely right :).  Sorry if i was not bit clear.

I could have just asked this question :

<question>
Anybody successful with rpm version of kernel installation?
</question>

Cause i didnt :(.

Like pete told (2.4.2) version of kernel (rpm version) didnt work good for
me.

I was just wondering if i can get hold of 2.5 version of kernal and give it
a shot,

may be that one works :).

Anyway thank you very much for the Info :)

Have a great day.
