[olug] Redhat 8 kernal errata updates

[Francis Geiger]

Jeff,  It worked!!!! device hda1 showed 94%/boot then I removed
kernel-2.4.18-14 and the device showed 72% then processed the errata
up2date, now I have 2.4.18-27.8.0 running just fine.  Thank you and
everyone who replied for your help. This command line stuff is pretty
good.
