You should be able to get the latest kernel by just doing "yum update"
as long as you have another way to get on-line with the system (wire,
built-in wireless and ndiswrapper).  If not, you may want to look into
pulling down the iso images for one of the unofficial FC4 updates that
are available.

I can't access the internet from this laptop yet.  I can't sudo either after tried wrong root password three times.  However, I can enter Netwrok Config (Desktop>System Settings>Network) by the same root password. Is there any way to fix it or do I have to reinstall Fedora?
