Yes a major failing with Red Hat is that you must ensure that there is
plenty of space on /usr but there is no indicator of how much you need. I
expect that Red Hat 6.0 will fix this and I am working on changin the
installation of Definite Linux to address this as well.

I found that majordomo stopped working altogether after upgrading to Red
Hat 5.2 from 5.1. Nothing I could do (including correcting file ownerships
that were already correct and recreating the majordomo user) would fix the
problem.

In the end I decided to simply backup the lists and reinstall majordomo
(1.94.4-6) which sorted the problem out and only took 5 minutes to do.

WRT your ISDN problems I am about to build a new RPM for Red Hat with all
the most up to date isdn4k stuff.

Hopefully I will have this completed and available tomorrow morning as I
am only allowed to `work' for another 30 minutes before my wife will start
hitting me with a big stick and shouting about getting away from
computers.;-)
