Newbie Question: Setup on RH7 for development

[Juergen Suessmaier]

Hi,

just a little addendum:

The kernel upgrade was necessary due to heavy system crashes obviously caused
by the somewhat weird USB packport found in the original one. Disabling
USB on the 2.2.16 kernel fixed the problem and if you don't experience
any problems with the original kernel at all, there's no need to upgrade
the kernel - except if you like to "play" with the bleeding edge like I
do :-) However, kernel 2.4.2 appears to be as stable as usual. I haven't
seen any problems since the upgrade (boxes run at 24/7).

could also be qt-2.2.3 which is available in RPM format as well. The 2.2.4
I am using was self-compiled as I wasn't able to find RH7 RPMs. However,
2.2.3 worked fine as well.

All packages mentioned (except kernel 2.4.2 and qt-2.2.4) are available
for RH7 in RPM format, so upgrading is quite simple.

Regards,
Juergen
