Can I keep my Redhat 8 distro undisturbed with only
kernel update of 2.6.8.1. If I do so what are all the pros and cons on it?
Yes, you should. The only userland dependancy that needs to be upgraded
for linux-2.6.x is modutils, which I upgraded to modutils-2.4.25-8 (Google
for this; there are probably more recent versions around) on Redhat 7.3.
The same should work on RedHat 8.0 as well, if built from SRPM.
KDE related rpms and src.rpms on www.kde.org. How to go about it
You can simply install the kde rpms from the RedHat 8 CDs, or better
still, rebuild the SRPMs from RedHat 7.3, which doesn't have any of the
Bluecurve crap. If you choose to go with source from kde.org, there
will probably be a number of dependancies to resolve (I haven't tried
that yet).
