download from a anonymous ftp server without losing my data on my PC,
i try to install it with  the boot.img disk i found a error 'it tell me that 
it can't read module-info file, what can do to bypass this problem, i'm 
newbie in the redhat linux environement,
i try to upgrade the kernel 2.0.x to 2.2.x but there is conflict which i
