Hi There;

Forgive the stupid question, but I am looking for the "best" way to get 
XFS up and running for a Redhat 8.0 system running an SMP kernel 
2.4.20-18.9.  I am starting with a virgin kernel from Redhat - 2.4.18-18 
which does not have XFS but want to upgrade to XFS and to 2.4.20-
18.9.  Any comments as to the steps I should take, and where best to 
download the required patches/rpms/source code?

To date I have tried to first upgrade the kernel to 2.4.20-18.9, and then 
try and find patches to add the XFS capability, but this method fails 
when applying the patch (too many missing files and the date stamps 
seem wrong).

I have also tried using an SGI linux iso, but that failed upon trying to 
install anaconda.  I did the media check, and the disk comes back 
clean, so I am not sure what to make of that.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
