Nope, I haven't yet installed yum nor apt on the rh8 box. And I cannot nor  
I would want to test yum/apt on a running website :D (and this answers a  
previous email about those two programs). Until EOL of RH8 I used up2date  
for kernel updates (it complained about the absence of grub too, but  
installed everything anyway without removing old kernels). Hope this  
clarifies everything because I'm not right away in the mood for re- 
explaining from the start what was up2date's behaviour (which was what I  
expected when I took the RPM from FLP's site...)

For what concerns yum/apt, again: sorry folks, but I'd rather wait for  
yum/apt to get declared stable for RH8 before starting to use it  
(whichever one wins... :)
