Yes that you're have enable updates-testing or yes that you think
there is a 2835 kernel released into the standard updates repo?

Some of the fedora web pages were down right after the release of FC6,
does that mean you should abandon the distro as a whole?  The folks at
Livna do a damn good job of packaging and distributing a lot of
software, much if it which the packagers there don't even have a use
for.  I am personally very grateful to them for the time they've saved
me.

This is likely due to your yum config problems.  Sometimes things in
testing don't work out smoothly.  Fedora is on the bleeding edge as it
is.  The stuff in testing is out in front of that.  I doubt you'll
find much sympathy here if you complain that it doesn't work.

Right, they don't always keep up with updates-testing.  Those
slackers. ;)
