What that option does on RH9, is to not use the NPTL threading patches that RH put into RH's newer 2.4 kernels. > does this way actually update the kernel and glib? No it doesn't. This was RH's option to allow programs that had problems with NPTL to not use it. Right now (as Colin mentioned), it's advisable to actually use Fedora Core 1 (essentially RH 10), with YUM it's a lot easier get all the latest upgrades (newer than RH9), while giving you the same easy to user interface that are used to with RH. -- "You keep using that word.
