[!] Or just dump the updated kernel's in your NFS directory.

I think that's why they haven't bothered to update it (until 1.2's release is
official).  You can install with the 1.2pre1 installer for RedHat 8.0 to get the
"XFS filesystem creation," but still actually load the latest RPMs (e.g.,
1.2pre3) in the actual ./RedHat/RPMS directory.

Again, [!], just a thought.  ;->

The reason why Microsoft is so successful is because they fooled
an overwhelming majority of people into thinking there is such a
thing as a "free lunch."  The DOJ case has arisen from those
same consumers who won't accept the fact that they were respon-
sible for locking themselves into only one company's products.
