> What is the essential difference between the generic kernels and the > Fedora kernels? Why is there a difference? The easiest way to "see" what the difference is - download the kernel-<blah>.src.rpm. Check out 1) all the patches applied by Red Hat 2) the ChangeLog which, hopefully, gives a good explanation of what was being done from the generic LT kernel. In short - performance updates, device drivers, kernel enhancements, etc. Red Hat has been extraordinarily nice in their own development of the kernel more often than not sending the patches in to get incorporated into the generic LT kernel. -- Michael Lee Yohe <michael.yohe@xxxxxxxxxxx> U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command Software Engineering Directorate
