I am not certain whether a 2.4.x kernel would work proper within FC2.

The applications are linked against specific libraries where the most important is the glibc. So speaking about applications it does not really matter if it is a 2. or a 2.6 kernel. > If so, then could it work to take the *.src.rpm from the FC1 and compile it > on FC2 (with gcc3.3 ?). Which src.rpm? The modem driver src.rpm? Then no, because the 2.4 kernel did not compile with gcc3.3 and therefor gcc3.2 was shipped with FC1. And drivers - especially a prepared src.rpm package - made for 2.4 kernel will not build on 2.6 kernel platforms. > I just try this at home, but it's not ready yet ... i patched the files so > it will use 3.3 instead of 3.2. > But now i await its completion. > Is the 2.4 *.src.rpm compilable with gcc3.3 ? No. > Thanks a lot, > Andrei Better stay with FC1 until all your hardware is supported and will run with a 2.6 kernel. I think that is best and saves you much trouble and headaches.
