I can agree with you in that since I upgraded to RH7 I've decided to use
Mandrake instead. ;-)
The original questions was about baseing the next release of Scyld in
RH7. It is hard to upgrade a distro that doesn't load in the first
place. If upgrading the kernel is enough, then that's fine. I can
think of plenty of reasons to keep the distro as simple and functional
as possible.
