I went to RedHat to try and find that rpm and could not. But I did finally find the rpm on the 2nd binary CD, not the source or 1st CD as you would expect or were told in RedHat docs....which by the way, are really out of date! As a side note, from the reading I have been doing I believe you will need a file called kernel-headers-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm which can be found on the 1st binary CD. Now it is time to go and try this....wish me luck.
