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. > My other big problem is with Majordomo (1.94.4). 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.;-) Jason Clifford Definite Linux Systems http://definite.ukpost.com/
