[NBLUG/talk] Re Installing kernel RPM update

[HarryH]

Mark, et al,
Thanks very much!  It all worked fine, just as you said.  I was able to
re-install the 2.4.20-27.7, clean out the old kernels, and even download &
install the latest kernel from RHN, 2.4.20-28.7, and make it latest version.
Hope to make it to the mtg tonight.

Thanks again,
Harry
