installed rh 6.2 from talking bootdisk, but it's kernel refuses to work properly when copied in from the bootdisk

[Chris Schulte]

This sounds like a similar problem I had, the only difference being that I
was unable to completely make a new kernel.  I'm thinking there's a bug in
6.2's software.  Maybe they have shipped bad cd's.  As a result, the $80 I
spent on Redhat is more or less used as an expensive manual for commands.
If I were you, I'd go back to zipspeak for the time being.
