Ok, mung time, then. That means RedHat will be releasing 6.5.1 with RedHat 6.1, unless those patches can be munged relatively easily. Alpha is a big platform for RedHat.

Oh, I understand. Somehow or another I thought 6.5.2 had those patches integrated. My error. > Our problem is that minor releases don't get the same cross-platform > testing as major releases. I understand -- I am patch-munging as I write this, after booting into RedHat 6 on my notebook. If Ryan K is still around, he may find it easier going, as he did the backpatch to 6.5.1. There are a couple of failed hunks, and some reverses. We'll see how it goes. Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio

Yea, I am still around, though a bit busy with school at the moment. I should be able to get 6.5.2beta downloaded and the alpha patches updated for it by Monday if you want me to try. Or, if you get an updated alpha patch before then, email it to me, and I will try it out.
