It seems curious that you don't include the kernel itself.
My impression is that there used to be a 2.2 kernel RPM at redhat,
but that it has been removed.
Is that correct?
[In fact it didn't work for me.]

Hi,
Sorry, but we aren't about to produce a kernel RPM for several reasons,
primarily we feel a generic "Everything you'll ever need" type of kernel
binary distribution aproach is not as stable as building for a specific
machine or small group of specific machines.

But, there should be a kernel SRPM that is available from Red Hat's Rawhide
distribution.

Regards,
Jim

1. Linux 2.2 upgrade pack for Red Hat 5.2 available

We have posted the i386.rpm, src.rpm, and patches on our WWW site at
http://www.affinity-systems.ab.ca/software/ for several packages needed to
upgrade a stock Red Hat 5.2 system to Linux 2.2 series of kernels.  These
should work on Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 but were compiled under Red Hat 5.2
and kernel 2.2.1.

Packages include are:

ipchains-rhcn-1.3.8-2.i386.rpm
modutils-rhcn-2.1.121-1.i386.rpm
net-tools-rhcn-1.50-1.i386.rpm
procinfo-rhcn-16-1.i386.rpm
util-linux-rhcn-2.9h-1.i386.rpm

Jim
