We have posted the i386.rpm, src.rpm, and patches on our WWW site at
http://www.affinity-systems.ab.ca/software/ for util-linux-2.9i.  This is
built for upgrading to the Linux 2.2 series kernels and should work under
Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 but were compiled under a relatively stock Red Hat
5.2 system with Kernel 2.2.6.

seperate package), lptune, and losetup.  It also contains all the
documentation included with the original tar.gz file.
