Re: [MLUG] RedHat 7.2 with an Intel 845GV onboard graphics controller

[Kurt OConnor <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Ok, I thought so.  I went to freshrpms.net and
downloaded apt-get for 7.2 then I attempted to
upgrade.  Everything upgraded accept the kernel. 
Apparently I need the latest version of ipchains for
kernel#2.4.26, but I need kernel#2.4.26 for the latest
version of ipchains.  Can I force the upgrade of one
or the other without causing problems?
