I tried upgrading from RedHat 7.0 to 7.2... Well, as it turns out, my small 1.6GB /root/home partition wouldn't hold it all. This is an old Win95 system with four 2GB partitions. The recommendation was 1.5GB for basic configuration. So I backed up the critical sections of the computer and installed from scratch using the whole 8GB drive rather than all these partitions. The install went smooth and I'm up and running. One major point... If your using X windows (Gnome/KDE desktop), you need more than 64MB of RAM. It recommends 96MB. My system is 64MB and its swapping like crazy when I try to do stuff. I guess I'm going to go out and look for memory! I moved the LDM 5.1.3 compiled under RH 7.0 over the 7.2. Remember 7.0 used the old 2.2 kernel. I started the LDM and its crunching away without a hitch and without a recompile. Of course, I'm not feeding the world, nor am I taking the full NOAAPORT feed, just FOS, Difax and radar mosaics. So it might not be a fair comparison. But so far so good. Soon, I will be pushing more NOAAPORT data at it for a stress test. ________________________________________________________ Daniel Vietor Mail: devo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Unisys Corp Title: Engineer/Meteorologist 221 Gale Lane Phone: 610-925-5206 Kennett Square PA 19348 Fax: 610-925-5215
