Re: install RHEL 3 Up4 dell 7400

Hello,

   Sorry for not posting sooner, I have my issues resolved, I change
from RHEL3 up4 to up7
and all installed smoothly, well, no video card, and no networking, but
those are minor issues
as one can search for drivers available at the vendors site, or by doing
a little research in the forums.

Thanks for the support guys, and i apologize for waiting so long to post
my solution

Best Regards

Sergio Arregui
