It's been years i've never tried RH product ever since the RH5!
I tried to put aside rpm's command, but due to curiosity towards CentOS which is RHEL based source re-compiled, gave it a try...
Looks like Red Hat/Fedora Core to me....
Nothing much differences, i managed to download a 'patch' for kernel unsupported tools/filesystem cuz i need to view/read my ntfs and lvm partitions.
Well, everything goes pretty well, after rpm -Uvh package-name.rpm, everything works like charm... Opps.. yeah.. if you need to add features unsupported by the original kernel to it, better restart.. Wonder how come it doesn't ask me to restart the system???
But i presume it should 'auto' detect. But it seems like it's not module-like program. Finally, i rebooted the workstation, and voila!! I could mount ntfs and lvm...
Guess i'm better off go back to debian/slackware... but i'm using this workstation in the office, i guess making use of Debian is a better choice to me.. though i love to compile programs in Slackware...
that's about it... thanks to Thiam Teck... else i won't be blogging!!

U r welcome. Now I am still trying with Fedora Core 3, still cant access the NTFS yet......
Sometimes it's quite misleading that the package we install - even though it's for the same distro (Fedora Core 3) may not work accordingly...
Sigh... now Fedora Core 4 is out, meaning those apps for FC3 cannot be use anymore???
What about rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm???
Friend, stop using rpm staff lah... Debian is good... perhaps u wanna try OpenSuSe or Mandriva
