Kernel rpm's

["Michal Przyluski" <mp o poczta wp pl>]

Hi there, 

I've been intensively thinking about it since 15 Oct, and 
didn't manage to do anything. 

As you probably know on 15/Oct RH published errata rpm's 
with 'very new' kernel. (2.4.18-17). I'm currently using 
quite good 2.4.9-34 and I'm happy, but I think I should 
upgrade these packages. My problem is that I don't know 
which packages shold I install & which - upgrade. I know 
that kernel-*.rpm I should install, but what about other 
strange rpm's. I mean particulary:

-> dev-3.3-4.i386.rpm (completely no idea)
-> MAKEDEV-3.3-4.i386.rpm (probably -Uvh)
-> modutils-2.4.18-3.7x.i386.rpm (-Uvh)
-> modutils-devel-2.4.18-3.7x.i386.rpm (-ivh, because I don't
have any older modutils-devel)

The most critical (in my opinion) is dev-3.3-4, because I have 
completely no idea. Both -ivh & -Uvh are possible as far as for 
--test though I'm quite confused: 

# rpm --test -ivh i386/dev-3.3-4.i386.rpm
Preparing...               
########################################### [100%]
# rpm --test -Uvh i386/dev-3.3-4.i386.rpm
Preparing...               
########################################### [100%]

I would be pleased if you provide me any faq concerning it (other
than this old one on redhat). 

TIA,
All the best, 
Michal
