Hi,
I have Redhat 5.2 on my PC and thinking of switching to Redhat 6.0
(using the CD from Cheapbytes)
Wanted to know how I can update to RedHat 6.0 without tampering any of
the stuff I have already
installed on my PC.
Thanks
Rajesh

The only problem I found - for some reson it removed my alias
ls to ls --color. Other than that no problems.

If your kernel is newer than the one in RedHat 6, you will lose any enhancements
the newer kernel provided....I cannot upgrade because the RH6 kernel fails to
find my PCI/SCSI drives...the RH6 kernel seem to have a problem ( as did the
original 5.2 one) with my setup, so I continue to use 5.2 ( now at kernel
2.3.12) )

You may have to make a special kernel with those systems as static that way there
will be
no chance of you losing anything due to a missing module. But, it is still
possible.

1. RedHat 5.2 -> RedHat 6.0 Upgrade Problems
My RedHat 5.2 System worked perfectly! Now that I upgraded I am having
a few problems, and need someone to tell me where the problem lies.
For starters, when I get connected to the Internet, my cacheing DNS
doesn't work! I can't do nslookups! PPP is working b/c when I issue
an 'ifconfig' it reports that the PPP0 interface is up. The
/var/log/messages reports my ISP's DNS IP as an address for queries. I
can ping the ISP DNS. It's almost as if my DNS packets are not being
returned to my computer. What's the problem? I use gnome-ppp (part of
the gnome-network-1.0.rpm) to connect (if that makes any difference).
Where is the problem?
Also, I am having problems with ESD with a SoundBlaster 16 PCI card.
Kernel sound support is great. When I use ESD (like the sound effect
for GNOME or playing MP3's) ESD plays the file really slowly!!! (It's
takes about 6 times as long to play the file) Is there a way to speed
up ESD's relaying of data to /dev/dsp? If so how?
Help will be appreciated! If you need any further information, let me
know. I will post follow-up messages. Thanks in advance!
