John, Thanks for your quick response.I think I made some mistakes in my initial post. NG only works on kernel 2.4.9 or higher. Redhat 7.2, I guess is 2.4.7 so NG wouldn't work on it. The kernel of redhat 7.3 is again too high for NG. SO I am torn between installing 7.2 and upgrading the kernel or installing 7.3 and downgrading the kernel. I am fairly new to linux anyway. I need to get this to work so I can learn the checkpoint software. Once again thanks for your help.
