Yes, another lister also posted me the same info. I guess I can read
into that that the 2.6 kernels are finally becoming stable. Do you know
which kernel version will be in EL4? I might upgrade to that to test it
on SO before upgrading to FC3

OK. Thank you. (Embarrased blush!) I was aware of the modutils etc.
stuff being totally different but, due to an overheating of the brain, I
wasn't thinking clearly when I mentioned going back to 2.4 kernels.
However, the main thing is that I can go back to any 2.6 kernel version.
That's good.
Thanks again Rick,
