hello and thanks! as i wrote, the first install was indeed an
planetccrma-core.

[root@r3z143 apt]# rpm -q -a | grep planetccrma
planetccrma-2003.10.13-1
planetccrma-core-2003.09.12-1.rh90

[root@r3z143 apt]# uname -a
Linux r3z143.mistral.cz 2.4.22-6.ll.rh90 #1 Wed Sep 10 16:54:02 PDT
2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

i use the latest RH9 CCRMA iso set, from 2003/10/14.

well i would really like to update the whole bunch. do i understand
correctly that i could try to first only upgrade "planetccrma-core" and
then see if "apt-get dist-upgrade" does not want to throw all these
kernels at me??

thanks, ALEX
