Hi Steve
So far have described my person situation very well.
I have been working on this for several months, made numerous post over
this, and questions.
In short I have 2 HDs in interchangeable drawers with RH 7.1 on both.
Also there are 2 ether net cards + a modem.
Main HD
I have noticed that nmb does not initiate on boot.
I am able to start and stop both eather net connections and the modem using
usernet from the desktop as a user.
Kppp is functional.
Test HD
nmb starts and runs.
I am not able to start and stop the ether net cards from usernet except as
root.
usernet does not recognize that a modem exist.
Kppp is functional.
I tried downloading RH updates; In fact that is all I have done for the
lase 3 days. Results, I would have been better off going fishing.
I am at the stage now with this that I have requested to borrow a set of RH
7.2 disks; R H 7.2 came out last week and I am going to see if I can make
them function. Also consider looking at the packages in the latest SuSE and
RH it would appear that SuSE is about 6 months ahead of RH with the release
of update but then you have Yast2 to contend with.
As a final thought there were a number of major changes from RH 7.0 to 7.1
including kernel, kde, gnome, and internet security. KDE office was added;
if I want to crash my system active all I have to do is go to KDE Office
and I guarantee a user lockup.
Hopefully 7.2 fixes most of the these issues. I do know it upgrades Star
Office from 5.2 to 6.0 which is suppose to be a big change.
As far as I have been able to ascertain 7.1 should be considered beta
software thus my personal I recommend for you to consider up to 7.2 before
you considering fixing 7.1.
Hope this helps.
Frank
