Re: Kernel 2.6 in FC1 ?

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,

Thanks for your lucid instructions.
But how does synaptic interact with up2date?

It can replace up2date entirely. In fact, on my boxes I've never used
up2date. They do the same thing, but with the difference that synaptic
only handle apt sites, and up2date seems to be quite problematic for
several people.

Besides, it's easier to know about new packages/kernel versions/drivers
etc with synaptic.

Can one use up2date after using synaptic?

Yes, you can. In fact, you can use the same repositories with synaptic
and up2date.
