Attempting to upgrade the kernel on a 7.2 box, has anyone done this following
instructions on Mandrakes site?
MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:037 : kernel
A number of security problems have been found in the Linux kernels
prior to the latest 2.2.19 kernel. Following is a list of problems
based on the 2.2.19 release notes as found on
http://www.linux.org.uk/VERSION/relnotes.2219.html">
www.linux.org.uk
All of these problems are corrected in the 2.2.19 kernel and it is
highly recommended that all Linux-Mandrake users upgrade their systems
to this kernel.
It is also recommended that you download the necessary RPMs and
upgrade manually by following these steps:
type: rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.19-4.1mdk.i586.rpm
type: mv kernel-2.2.19-4.1mdk.i586.rpm /tmp
type: rpm -Fvh *.rpm
type: mkinitrd -f --ifneeded /boot/initrd-2.2.19-4.1mdk 2.2.19-4.1mdk
type: ln -sf /boot/initrd-2.2.19-4.1mdk /boot/initrd.img
edit /etc/lilo.conf and double-check the options
type: /sbin/lilo -v
Am I missing something here ? why mv kernel-2.2.19-4.1mdk.i586.rpm /tmp
