At that time, I would also like to update sources.redhat.com to the latest errata kernel, and also check if any additional updates are required, and if there are any critical updates, apply them. I propose tomorrow evening (2003/12/03) at 7pm EDT lasting until 9pm EDT. If anyone has any objections please speak now or forever hold you peas. And if you do object, please propose an alternative time, don't just complain. Regards, Matthew Galgoci -- Matthew Galgoci System Administrator Red Hat, Inc 919.754.3700 x44155
