Well I have never ever done this, I am following the release notes way, thats 
all. I am not recompiling the kernel and am not doing anything custom. 
So in the perfect world situation here which file would you copy?

Give me some Idea as what it is I am supposed to copy, for all I know I must 
put a pdf file in configs directory. Please understand I haven't got a clue 
as to what is meant by "cp <desired-file>"

I am using the standard kernel on the FC3 cds and the standard src.rpm from 
download.fedora.redhat.com/pub....

thanks
