Is there a definitive HOW TO regarding updating fedora core 1 to Kernel
2.6??
I've played a little with the idea but in the process managed to lose
sound and I've lost the track of what was supposed to be added, deleted
from various folders.
I'm aware that there are at least 3 different descriptions of the
process on the net, but none of them sounded definitive and to be honest
none of them worked for me.

Has anyone out there upgraded FC1 to kernel 2.6.5 from the rpms at

If so, how did it go? Anything I should know before I try this? Do I
just run through and install each of the i386/i686 .rpms? C
Also, can this be done using yum apt or up2date?
All you need to do is follow the readme.txt available at
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/ . I've added the following lines to
my yum and apt config (this is what is written in the readme.txt):
apt-get
-------
the kernel rpms are available via apt-get; add the following lines to
your /etc/apt/sources.list file :
# Arjan's 2.6 series kernel repository
rpm http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel
rpm-src http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel
yum
---
Those of us with yum can add the following to /etc/yum.conf:
[2.6testkernels]
name=Test Linux 2.6-test prerelease kernels for RHL9/rawhide
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/
And then , use yum update or apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade.
And that's all.

I tried using the one at http://fedoranews.org/jorge/howto/howto01.shtml
, but I can't get it to boot up, always stays on "Freeing unused kernel
memory".
