Very Computer

Will the new GNOME rpms (which the GNOME webpage says are for RH 6.0) work
under RH 5.2?  What do I need to update (besides the kernel) to go from RH
5.2 to 6.0 so I can use the new rpms?  Is there any site which explains
how to upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0? (I dont want to buy a whole new
distribution :)  Thanks

No, they don't work. RedHat 6.0 uses glibc 2.1.1, binary incompatible with
2.0.7, shipped with RedHat 5.1 and 5.2. You need to upgrade too many things
to list (glibc, ncurses, egcs...). Install RedHat 6.0 or get the source
(.src.rpm or tar.gz). BTW, I'm using a fresh Gnome from CVS
(http://cvs.gnome.org). Compile yourself. It's the best way.
