The Linux Kernel

Baselined with Redhat 5.2

Added kernel 2.2.5
And immediately patched to 2.2.6 (boy they come out often!)

Redhat requires the following files to be updated:

Kernel modutils	2.1.121	; insmod -V	needed
Procinfo	16	; procinfo -v	needed
Net-tools	1.50	; hostname -V	needed
Autofs	3.1.1	; automount --version	needed
NFS	2.2beta40	; showmount --version	needed
Pcmcia-cs	3.0.7	; cardmgr -V	needed
Util-linux	2.9i	; chsh -v	needed

Compiled! Here's the fun information:
