[WBEL-users] New to Whitebox. Kernel Upgrade?

[Shapiro, Mark]

Running up2date will allow you to download and automatically install the
latest available stable kernel.  It will present you with the choices
listed below.  Pick the one that best suits your machine.

To actually run on the downloaded kernel, you should go to /boot/grub
then check that grub.conf is set to load the 0 choice.  If it is not,
edit the file to make that change.  Then reboot the machine and it
should come up running the new kernel.

Not real sure, but:
Simplest way should be by using yum or up2date
"pick Up2Date Network from the menu" (from:
http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/faq.html )

To see what yum has to offer:
# yum info kernel*
should show you list of kernels.  Take your pick.
Otherwise, update / adjust your repos

Or install it manually, download one and just "rpm -i" it.
Some choices you might be interested in and end up seeing:
kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.i586.rpm
kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.EL.i586.rpm
kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm
