Re: running kernel 2.2 until 2.4 VM problems are sorted out

[Allan Gottlieb <gottlieb nyu edu>]

Thanks for your msg.  I wouldn't recommend doing a nodeps upgrade of
the kernel.  You might find 
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade/kernel-upgrade.html
to be helpful.

Iptables is a new firewall system that needs the 2.4 kernel.  For me
the older system Ipchains is adequate.  I would get the 7.0 version of
devfsd, quota, and sndconfig and see if they can be installed.

I just looked and there is quota action in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
You could look at that if you wanted to turn it off.

The nfs failure is troubling.
