Re: Kernel 2.6 in FC1 ?

["Gordon R. Keehn" <gordonkeehn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I tried using both synaptic and up2date when I first installed FC1. 
 Then I ran into problems with multiple versions of some packages. 
Synaptic warned that the affected packages could not be updated 
automatically as a result, and using that list I was able to clean up 
the extra versions.  I don't KNOW that it was caused by using both 
synaptic and up2date, but I don't know it wasn't either, so these days I 
use synaptic only.  I find it more flexible and easier to control, and 
adding new archives is a snap.  I would describe up2date as a tool, but 
synaptic is a utility.
   Cheers,
Gordon Keehn
