If you only want to update your RedHat 3.0.3 for the 2.0 kernels,
download the RPM's from ftp.redhat.com, directory
/pub/redhat/old-releases/redhat-3.0.3/i386/updates/2.0-kernel/ . They
include the packages which need to be upgraded for the 2.0 series. You
also probably want to grab the other new versions from the updates/RPMS/
directory (for security reasons)... Of course, you don't need to take
any of the packages which you don't already use.
To install the 2.0 upgrade RPM's, go to single-user mode (`shutdown
now`), and do a 'rpm -i -U *.rpm' in the directory where you have the
RPM's.
