You got that right.  I never imagined all the little nuances I forgot I
knew (and now don't know any more).  I'm muddling through it.  The whole
point being to get something more stable than a once a year complete OS
rebuild/swap for RHx.

I got it (eth0:0) to work but had to build a new kernel to do it.   That
took some
doing as well, but I believe I finally got all the piece parts together
(for the kernel) and got it going.  It seems somehow on install I got some
sort of mini-kernel.  Probably something I did.  Installing the precompiled
kernel didn't work because my NIC wouldn't come up.

Thanks for the help,
Scott
