[en] Yes, installing a newer version of RedHat ;) [es] S�, instalando otra versi�n m�s nueva de RedHat ;) [en] The kernel is distributed (thanks heaven) in .tar.gz format, not in the rpm one.

[en] The default windows manager is defined in /var/X11/bin (I'm not sure wich is the link for defaults). You can also specify a window manager by editing .xinitrc in the home directory of each user you want to, adding a line like this exec fvwm95 wich will override defaults and load the desired fvwm95 windows-look-like-killyermommawithanaxe manager. [es] El gestor de ventanas por defecto est� definido en /var/X11/bin (no estoy muy seguro de qu� link es el que establece el gestor por defecto). Tambi�n puedes especificar un gestor de ventanas, editando el fichero .xinitrc en el directorio "home" de cada usuario al que desees especificar un gestor diferente, a�adiendo una l�nea como esta: exec fvwm95 que se saltar� el gestor por defecto y te cargar� el fvwm95 que-tanto-se-parece-a-windows-y-que-se-sale-del-tablao. >I want to reinstall RedHat 5.0 XFree86, veri�n 3.3.1 from the CD....but i >don't want to reinstall all the system, just only Xwindows How can I do that >in RedHat 5.0 way?......... [en] Just don't reinstall ;) In Slakware you can choose what or what not, install when you type setup. Try so under your redhat. [es] S�mplemente, no las reinstales ;) En mi slakware, al poner setup, puedes elegir qu� o qu� no instalar cuando pones setup. As� que prueba eso bajo redhat. >How can I Upgrade to XFree86 3.3.2.3 in a Redhat 5.0 environment?. [en] Just download the rpm files (the X-FREE ones) and install them like this # rpm -i package.rpm [es] S�mplemente te bajas los ficheros rpm (los correspondientes a las X-FREE) y los instalas de esta guisa: # rpm -i paquete.rpm >who says that Linux is different from windows 95?....
