Going from single to dual processors in linux.......

My linux box (RedHat 7.3) is running on a PPro 200 HP Vectra (It's slow but my only available machine to learn some linux stuff on) . I'm installing a 2nd processor soon. What are the steps to get linux to recognize and use both processors?? I'll re-install it if I have to since it's basically a default installation right now, but I thought there might be an easier way.

Thanks!
 
Look in the installations CDs for the smp kernel then use rpm to install it...
Then at boot time select the correct kernel (the one with smp) to use it!!
 
the default kernel might have smp support already in it, although i wouldnt know. if not, there should be an rpm on your redhat cd(s) to install an smp kernel. or you could compile your own.
 
Look for the rpm file named:kernel-smp-2.4.18-3.XXX.rpm where XXX is your architecture i686, athlon, etc...

EDIT: didn't notice the PPRO in the first post...don't recall if that's a i586 or a i686...try the i586 first...
