[ale] (FA)Q: installed kernel SRPM - now what?

[John Mills]

Mike, James, et.al-

Thanks for the knowledgeable help on this, but it's starting to remind me
of the 4th-grader's book report that started out:
 "This book tells me more than I wanted to know about the elephant."

I need to add a boot image (2.4.18) of a newer generation than I'm using
(2.4.{7,9} in order to diagnose a functional problem [specifically my app
can't join a multicast group] which may be a version problem, but is more
likely due to destructive overlays from subsequent kernel and/or lib
installations.

Monday I'll get the proper SRPM, try the newer kernel (which works on
another box), and doubtless will still have the same functional problem.

I appreciate the help, but this is the wrong path for me.

Regards.
