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

So there's a defect in the redhat 6.2 CD's because you can't use the
install kernel to run the system.  Very interesting logic
indeed!!  Brent: send me your phone number or call me at the number at
the top of this message and I'll talk you through compiling a new
kernel.
